Current Age

Name Description
Data Domain: Patient Demographics
Data Type: Numeric
Definition:

A patient’s current age is calculated at the time the query is run by comparing a patient’s birth date and the query date. The resulting value is then rounded down to the nearest whole number.

For example, a patient that is 17 years old and 11 months will round down to 17 years old, not up to 18 years old.
