Eureka Admission Level

Eureka Tumor Level

Fields:

Date Conclusive DX  [NAACCR #443]

Date Conclusive DX Flag  [NAACCR #448]

Date of Diagnosis  [NAACCR #390]

Message:

IF743:  Date Conclusive DX [value of Date Conclusive DX] must be greater than 60 days after Date of Diagnosis [value Date of Diagnosis]

IF743:  If year of Date of Diagnosis = 2007-2012, then Date Conclusive DX and Date Conclusive DX Flag cannot both be blank.

IF743:  If year of Date of Diagnosis < 2007, then Date Conclusive DX and Date Conclusive DX Flag must both be blank.

Specification:

If year of Date of Diagnosis is 2013 or later, then Date Conclusive DX is optional and can be left blank.

If year of Date of Diagnosis is 2007-2012, then Date Conclusive DX and Date Conclusive DX Flag cannot both be blank.

If year of Date of Diagnosis is less than 2007, then Date Conclusive DX and Date Conclusive DX Flag must both be blank.

The remaining logic is edit is skipped if either Date Conclusive DX or Date of Diagnosis is blank.

Date Conclusive DX must be greater than two months (60 days) after Date of Diagnosis. The dates are compared as follows:

1. If either month is blank, then only the years are compared (year of Date of Conclusive must be equal to or greater than year of Date of Diagnosis). There are two exceptions:

• If month of Date Conclusive DX is blank and month of Date of Diagnosis is 11 or 12, the year of Date Conclusive DX must be greater than year of Date of Diagnosis.

• If month of Date of Diagnosis is blank and month of Date Conclusive DX is 01 or 02, the year of Date of Conclusive DX must be greater than year of Date of Diagnosis.

2. If either day or both days are blank, the maximum difference is assumed between days. That is, if the day of Date of Diagnosis  is unknown, the lowest day (01) would be assumed, and, if day of Date Conclusive DX is unknown, the highest day of a month  (28, 29, 30, or 31) would be assumed.

3. Otherwise the entire dates (CCYYMMDD) are compared.
