CNBLODAG
Age first diagnosed with blood cancer

Description

For persons ages 18 and older who have ever been diagnosed with blood cancer (CNBLOD), CNBLODAG indicates the age, in years, the person was when their blood cancer was first diagnosed. CNBLODRMS indicates whether the cancer is in remission.

CNBLODAG is part of a series of cancer variables included in MEPS beginning in 2008. From 2013 forward, AHRQ removed the variables indicating age of diagnosis and remission status for each reported cancer from the public file for confidentiality reasons. For related variables and more information about the cancer variables included in MEPS, please see CNBLAD.
