~~Age is part of the~~ [[~~APACHE_Scoring_table#Age_Points|APACHE II score~~]] ~~for Critical Care and~~ [[~~MOST~~]] ~~score used in Medicine.~~

<onlyinclude>[[Age]] is the number of years between [[Date of Birth]] and the last birthday prior to '''or on''' admission. </onlyinclude>

~~We define age as~~

Age is part of the [[APACHE_Scoring_table#Age_Points|APACHE II score]] for Critical Care and [[ALERT scale]] used in Medicine.

* '''Integer Number of years between DOB and last birthday prior to ''or on'' admission.~~'''~~

~~The multi_search module in [[TMSX and MedTMS]] presents '''average age''' with four decimal places.~~

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.~~

~~When this value is generated~~ in ~~[[CCMDB.mdb]] e.g. for use in the [[Overstay]] project age is implemented using a floor function~~.
