Data Elements

DD Data Element MSIS-IDENTIFICATION-NUM
DD Data Element Number ELG019

Annotation Calculate the percentage of individuals with age = 0
Specification STEP 1: Enrolled on the last day of DQ report month

Define the eligible population from segment ENROLLMENT-TIME-SPAN-ELG00021 by keeping active records that satisfy the following criteria:

1. ENROLLMENT-EFF-DATE <= last day of the DQ report month

2. ENROLLMENT-END-DATE >= last day of the DQ report month OR missing

3. MSIS-IDENTIFICATION-NUM is not missing



STEP 2: Primary demographics on the last day of DQ report month

Using the MSIS IDs that meet the criteria from STEP 1, join to segment PRIMARY-DEMOGRAPHICS-ELG00002 by keeping records that satisfy the following criteria:

1a. PRIMARY-DEMOGRAPHIC-ELEMENT-EFF-DATE <= last day of the DQ report month

2a. PRIMARY-DEMOGRAPHIC-ELEMENT-END-DATE >= last day of the DQ report month OR missing

OR

1b. PRIMARY-DEMOGRAPHIC-ELEMENT-EFF-DATE is missing

2b. PRIMARY-DEMOGRAPHIC-ELEMENT-END-DATE is missing



STEP 3: Calculate Age and Keep Age=0

Of the MSIS IDs that meet the criteria from STEP 2, calculate Age:

1a. If DATE-OF-DEATH is non-missing and occurs before the last day of the DQ report month, Age is equal to the years between DATE-OF-DEATH and DATE-OF-BIRTH.

1b. Otherwise, Age is equal to the years between the last day of the DQ report month and DATE-OF-BIRTH.

Note: perform calculations to count full years (e.g., 5/1/2015 – 8/1/1950 = 64)

2. Only keep records where Age = 0.



STEP 4: Calculate percentage

Divide the count of unique MSIS IDs from STEP 3 by the count of unique MSIS IDs from STEP 1
