ACCESS
- CCMDB_Age = excel.WorksheetFunction.Floor(CInt(DateDiff("yyyy", DOB, Adm)) + Int(Format(Adm, "mmdd") < Format(DOB, "mmdd")), 1)
  - where Birth = Date of Birth and R_Adm = Date of Admission
SAS
- Age=floor((intck('month',Birth,R_Adm) - (day(R_Adm) < day(Birth))) / 12)
Both formula yields the same AGE values.

-Age is actually stored as a value in  [[TMSX and MedTMS]] rather than calculated when needed.  Patient data is sent from the [[Laptop Setup | Laptop]] and is [[PDA Uploader | uploaded]] to the master [[TMSX | Critical Care]] or [[MedTMS | Medicine]] database. Calculation of age is done by the PDA uploader during appending (uploading) of sent data to master database.
