Definition and Derivation
Function to calculate Age
- Both formula yields the same AGE values.
ACCESS
- CCMDB_Age = excel.WorksheetFunction.Floor(CInt(DateDiff("yyyy", Date of Birth, Admit DtTm)) + Int(Format(Admit DtTm, "mmdd") < Format(Date of Birth, "mmdd")), 1)
SAS
- Age=floor((intck('month',Date of Birth,Admit DtTm) - (day(Admit DtTm) < day(Date of Birth))) / 12)
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
