CNLEUKAG
Age first diagnosed with leukemia

Description

For persons ages 18 and older who have ever been diagnosed with leukemia (CNLEUK), CNLEUKAG indicates the age, in years, the person was when their leukemia was first diagnosed. CNLEUKRMS indicates whether the cancer is in remission.

CNLEUKAG 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.
