The study number is generated when the data is appended to TMSX or MedTMS to uniquely identify a patient encounter, i.e. one ward or unit stay. The study number is unique across the entire data set.
Study 99,999
When registry dat is exported as a csv file from TMSX or MedTMS the third row of data indicated the number of characters allowed in the column. Julie uses this marker in her SAS program for the know field length allowed.
- example 999: is for numerics and for this example 3 are allowed in the column
- example ZZ: is for characters and for this example, two are allowed in the column
- example 1/1/85 is example of how dates are stored.
- Can I assume that there will be no actual study 99,999 then? Ttenbergen 12:09, 2013 November 19 (CST)
- Yes, there is a study 99,999 in Medicine. See Total_admissions_ICU/Med-Trish Ostryzniuk 19:12, 2013 November 19 (CST)
