Edit Sets:

California Hospital Transmit

Eureka Admission Level

Eureka Tumor Level

Fields:

Date of Birth  [NAACCR #240]

Date of Diagnosis  [NAACCR #390]

Message:

IF 602:  Date of Birth [value] must be before, Date of Diagnosis [value] or the OR Age Site (Flag3) must be 2 or 3.

Specification:

This edit verifies that Birth Date is not later than Date of Diagnosis unless the case was diagnosed in utero.

If either date is blank or not valid, the edit is skipped. If either month is blank, then only the years are compared. If either day is blank, then only the years and months are compared.

If Birth Date is later than Date of Diagnosis, the difference in months is calculated. If the difference is no more than 7 full months AND the Over-ride Age/Site/Morph code is 2 or 3, no further checking is done. (Over-ride Age/Site/Morph may be set to 2 or 3 to indicate a case has been diagnosed in utero.)

Note:

Codes in Over-ride Age/Site/Morph are:

1 = Reviewed: An unusual occurrence of a particular age/site/histology combination for a given age group has been reviewed.

2 = Reviewed: Case was diagnosed in utero.

3 = Reviewed: Conditions 1 and 2 above both apply.

Blank = Not reviewed or reviewed and corrected.
