For Type of Reporting Source = 6 (Autopsy case) and Type of Reporting Source = 7 (DC Only case), date of death is entered for date of diagnosis as well as for dates of admission, discharge and follow-up.

ALLOWABLE VALUES

er1159: TNM Clin T, Date of Diagnosis (COC)

er066 Date of Diagnosis

A valid, complete date in YYYYMMDD.

General Date Editing Rules:

Date fields are recorded in the D1 date format of year, month, day (CCYYMMDD). Month and day must have leading zeros for values 01-09.

The following date format is allowed:

CCYYMMDD Century+Year, Month and Day are provided.

Dates are checked first to ensure they conform to one of these formats, then for errors in the components. Checking stops on the first non-valid situation.

Range Checking:

Lowest allowed value:  January 1, 1850 (or in D1 format: 18500101)

Highest allowed value: current system date

The month is checked to ensure it falls within range 01-12.

The day is checked to ensure it falls within range for that specific month. Accommodation is made for leap years.

SOURCE

If the record version is NAACCR version 12 (120 in original new case) or later, then upload the date and its associated flag value with no conversion.

Otherwise, if the record version is earlier than 12, then perform the following conversions in this order:

1. Right-justify and zero-fill the date to 8 digits.
   

2. Convert MMDDYYYY to YYYYMMDD.
   

3. Convert Date of Diagnosis and Date of Diagnosis Flag in the same manner as described in the Eureka Process Specification:  2010 Data Conversions document.

If steps 1 and 2 are the only changes made to the date, then DO NOT record them in the audit log.

Also see CS Version Derived.

uPDATE

Tumor Level

New Case Consolidation

If the admission and tumor Date of Diagnosis or Date of Diagnosis Flag values are different, then list both sets of values for review.

Manual Update*, **

Admission Level

Manual Update or Correction Applied to date or associated date flag*, **

*If a full or partial date is entered in the date field, then automatically change the associated flag to blank; If a numeric associated flag code is selected/entered, then automatically change the date to blank

**If the date is changed, it is now later*** than Date of Last Contact, and Vital Status is alive(1), then automatically update Date of Last

Contact with the new date and reset Date of Last Contact Flag to blank (this update applies to the patient’s Date of Last Contact and Vital Status for a tumor Level change and to the patient and admission’s Date of Last Contact and Vital Status for an Admission level change).

*** With year, month, and/or day potentially blank, a completely known date could appear to be later because it is a larger number than a partial later date. Thus, to test for the latest date among known full or partial dates, use these tests in this order:

• If one of the known dates’ years is later than (greater than) the other date's year being compared or if it is the only known year/date, then that date is the latest known date

• If multiple known dates have the same latest year, but only one of them has a latest known month, then that is the latest known date

• If multiple known dates have the same latest year & month, but only one of them has a latest known day, then that is the latest  known date
