Description
This module calculates age from DOB, it returns years, months and partial years (i.e., 17, 3, 17.296272)
Usage Details

This module calculates age from DOB (date of birth), the calculation allows for leap years. To calculate age use the age.getAge() function which returns years, months and partial years (i.e., 17, 3, 17.296272).

Note: The age module uses dateparse so it accepts most common date formats.

How to use the code:

  • Add the module to a Filter or To Translator
  • Use the age.getAge() function to return the age from DOB

Here is some sample code for main():

-- This example shows the use of the age module
-- This module calculates age from date of birth - it returns years, months and partial years.
-- https://help.interfaceware.com/code/details/age-lua

local age = require 'age'

function main(Data)   
   local Msg = hl7.parse{vmd ='example\\demo.vmd', data=Data}

    -- getAge() requires date as a string parameter
   AgeYr, AgeMth, AgeDec = age.getAge('19980210')
   trace(AgeYr, AgeMth, AgeDec)
 
   AgeYr, AgeMth, AgeDec = age.getAge('1998-02-10')   
   trace(AgeYr, AgeMth, AgeDec)

   -- use :nodeValue() as getAge() requires date as a string
   local AgeYr, AgeMth, AgeDec = age.getAge(Msg.PID[7][1]:nodeValue())
   trace(AgeYr, AgeMth, AgeDec)
   
   -- age.lua uses dateparse to supports non-conformant date formats
   local AgeYr, AgeMth, AgeDec = age.getAge('01/10/1948')
   trace(AgeYr, AgeMth, AgeDec)
end
