The number of years between Date of Birth and the last birthday prior to or on (Accept DtTm if applicable, Arrive DtTm otherwise).

  • SMW

Legacy implementation right in the table

  • Cargo


  • Categories
  • Forms


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)

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.
