Age is part of the APACHE II score for Critical Care and ALERT scale used in Medicine.

Function to calculate Age

• Both formula yields the same AGE values.

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 Adm = (Accept DtTm if available, Arrive DtTm otherwise)

SAS

• Age=floor((intck('month',Birth,R_Adm) - (day(R_Adm) < day(Birth))) / 12)
  • where Birth = Date of Birth and R_Adm = (Accept DtTm if available, Arrive DtTm otherwise)

Decided to keep this for now for cross-checking even though it duplicates the calculation in Access.
