The number of years between Date of Birth and the last birthday prior to or on (Accept DtTm if applicable, Arrive DtTm otherwise).
Usually used in aggregate form as "per location" and/or "per timeframe", e.g. by day/month/quarter/year x Ward/Unit x Hospital.

Critical Care
Part of the APACHE II score where patient's age falling under an age group(i.e. ≤44,45-54,55-64,65-74,≥75) has corresponding score
Critical Care QI domain
Understanding the population by showing aggregate counts of patients per age group (i.e. <40,40-60,61-80,>80)

Definition and Derivation
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)
Reported as
- Mean Age, Median Age, Minimum Age, Maximum Age for a given time-frame and/or location
- Counts and % of total patients based on age group for a given time frame and/or location
Frequency
- Time frame can be monthly, quarterly, yearly and can be based on admission dates or discharge dates
