Health sector data set specifications from METeOR, Australia's repository for national metadata standards, developed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (http://meteor.aihw.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/345165) Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS The collection of cardiovascular data (CV-Data) in this metadata set is voluntary. The definitions used in CV-Data are designed to underpin the data collected by health professionals in their day-to-day practice. They relate to the realities of a clinical consultation and the ongoing nature of care and relationships that are formed between doctors and patients in clinical practice. The data elements specified in this metadata set provide a framework for: • promoting the delivery of high quality cardiovascular disease preventive and management care to patients, • facilitating ongoing improvement in the quality of cardiovascular and chronic disease care predominantly in primary care and other community settings in Australia, and • supporting general practice and other primary care services as they develop information systems to complement the above. This is particularly important as general practice is the setting in which chronic disease prevention and management predominantly takes place. Having a nationally recognised set of definitions in relation to defining a patient's cardiovascular behavioural, social and biological risk factors, and their prevention and management status for use in these clinical settings, is a prerequisite to achieving these aims. Many of the data elements in this metadata set are also used in the collection of diabetes clinical information. Where appropriate, it may be useful if the data definitions in this metadata set were used to address data definition needs for use in non-clinical environments such as public health surveys etc. This could allow for qualitative comparisons between data collected in, and aggregated from clinical settings (i.e. using application of CV-Data), with that collected through other means (e.g. public health surveys). © Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2015 Metadata and Classifications Unit Australian Institute of Health and Welfare GPO Box 570 Canberra ACT 2601

Data Element Concept: Address—Australian postcode Value domain attributes Representational attributes Classification scheme: Postcode datafile Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: {NNNN} Maximum character length: 4 Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: To be reported for the address of the patient. The postcode can also be used in association with the Australian Bureau of Statistics Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) index (Australian Bureau of Statistics Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), Australia (CD-ROM)) to derive socio-economic disadvantage, which is associated with cardiovascular risk. People from lower socio-economic groups are more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than those from higher socio-economic groups. In 1997, people aged 25 - 64 living in the most disadvantaged group of the population died from cardiovascular disease at around twice the rate of those living in the least disadvantaged group (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) 2001. Heart, stroke and vascular diseases- Australian facts 2001.). This difference in death rates has existed since at least the 1970s. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Australian postal addresses should include a valid postcode. Refer to the Australia Post Address Presentation Standard for rules on presentation and positioning of postcodes on mail. For a full list of Australian postcodes visit the Australia Post website: www.auspost.com.au This data element may be used in the analysis of data on a geographical basis which involves coding data containing an address with a postcode to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) areas. The ABS provides a number of coding indexes and correspondences to undertake this conversion from postcode to ASGS areas. (See the correspondences section of ABS geography portal www.abs.gov.au/geography). A more accurate way to convert address data to ASGS geography is to use the locality to SA2 coding index, available from ABS, where the locality, postcode and state, (which are all part of an address), used in conjunction can effectively code data to the SA2 level and above in the ASGS. Note that it is not possible to code to SA1 level using these correspondences or indexes. This data element is one of a number of items that can be used to create a primary address, as recommended by the AS 4590-2006 Interchange of client information standard. Components of the primary address are: • Address site (or Primary complex) name • Address number or number range • Road name (name/type/suffix) • Locality • State/Territory • Postcode (optional) • Country (if applicable).

Data Element Concept: Episode of care—behaviour-related risk factor intervention purpose Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Smoking 2 Nutrition 3 Alcohol misuse 4 Physical inactivity 8 Other Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: Behaviour-related risk factors include tobacco smoking, nutrition patterns that are high in saturated fats and excessive energy (calories /kilojoules) (National Heart Foundation of Australia - A review of the relationship between dietary fat and cardiovascular disease, AJND, 1999. 56 (Supp) S5-S22), alcohol misuse and physical inactivity. The importance of behaviour-related risk factors in health has become increasingly relevant in recent times because chronic diseases have emerged as the principal threat to the health of Australians. Most of the chronic diseases have their roots in these risk-taking behaviours (Chronic Diseases and associated risk factors in Australians, 2001; AIHW 2002 Canberra). Smoking, Nutrition, Alcohol, Physical Activity (SNAP) initiative: SNAP Framework for General Practice is an initiative of the Joint Advisory Group (JAG) on General Practice and Population Health. The lifestyle-related behavioural risk factors of smoking, poor nutrition (and associated overweight and obesity) and harmful and hazardous alcohol use and declining levels of physical activity have been identified as significant contributors to the burden of disease in Australia, and particularly towards the National Health Priority Areas (NHPAs) of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, some cancers, injury, mental health and asthma. The NHPAs represent about 70% of the burden of illness and injury in Australia. Substantial health gains could occur by public health interventions that address these contributory factors. Around 86% of the Australian population attends a general practice at least once a year. There is therefore substantial opportunity for general practitioners to observe and influence the lifestyle risk behaviours of their patients. Many general practitioners already undertake risk factor management with their patients. There are also a number of initiatives within general practices, Divisions of General Practice, state/territory and Commonwealth Governments and peak non-government organisations aimed at reducing disease related to these four behavioural risk factors. Within the health system, there is potential for greater collaboration and integration of approaches for influencing risk factor behaviour based on system-wide roll-out of evidence-based best practice interventions. The aim of the SNAP initiative is to reduce the health and socioeconomic impact of smoking, poor nutrition, harmful and hazardous alcohol use and physical inactivity on patients and the community through a systematic approach to behavioural interventions in primary care. This will provide an opportunity to make better use of evidence-based interventions and to ensure adoption of best practice initiatives widely through general practice.

Alcohol consumption in standard drinks per day (self reported)

Person—alcohol consumption amount (self-reported), total standard drinks NN Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Alcohol consumption in standard drinks per day (self reported) METeOR identifier: 270249 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Definition: A person's self-reported usual number of alcohol-containing standard drinks on a day when they consume alcohol. Data Element Concept: Person—alcohol consumption amount Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: NN Maximum character length: 2 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 99 Consumption not reported Unit of measure: Standard drink Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Alcohol consumption is usually measured in standard drinks. An Australian standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol, which is equivalent to 12.5 millilitres of alcohol. Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: These data are used to help determine the overall health profile of an individual. Certain patterns of alcohol consumption can be associated with a range of social and health problems. These problems include: • social problems such as domestic violence, unsafe sex, • financial and relationship problems, • physical conditions such as high blood pressure, gastrointestinal problems, pancreatitis, • an increased risk of physical injury. • Alcohol can also be a contributor to acute health problems. Evidence from prospective studies indicates that heavy alcohol consumption is associated with increased mortality and morbidity from coronary heart disease and stroke (Hanna et al. 1992). However, there is some evidence to suggest that alcohol appears to provide some protection against heart disease (both illness and death) for both men and women from middle age onwards. Most if not all of this benefit is achieved with 1-2 standard drinks per day for men and less than 1 standard drink for women (the National Health and Medical Research Council's Australian Alcohol Guidelines, October 2001). Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: This estimation is based on the person's description of the type (spirits, beer, wine, other) and number of standard drinks, as defined by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NH&MRC), consumed per day. One standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol. The following gives the NH&MRC examples of a standard drink: • Light beer (2.7%): - 1 can or stubbie = 0.8 a standard drink • Medium light beer (3.5%): - 1 can or stubbie = 1 standard drink • Regular Beer - (4.9% alcohol): - 1 can = 1.5 standard drinks - 1 jug = 4 standard drinks - 1 slab (cans or stubbies) = about 36 standard drinks • Wine (9.5% - 13% alcohol): - 750-ml bottle = about 7 to 8 standard drinks - 4-litre cask = about 30 to 40 standard drinks • Spirits: - 1 nip = 1 standard drink - Pre-mixed spirits (around 5% alcohol) = 1.5 standard drinks When calculating consumption in standard drinks per day, the total should be reported with part drinks recorded to the next whole standard drink (e.g. 2.4 = 3). Collection methods: The World Health Organisation's 2000 International Guide for Monitoring Alcohol Consumption and Related Harm document suggests that in assessing alcohol consumption patterns a 'Graduated Quantity Frequency' method is preferred. This method requires that questions about the quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption should be asked to help determine short-term and long-term health consequences.

Most, if not all, of this benefit is achieved with 1-2 standard drinks per day for men and less than 1 standard drink for women (the National Health and Medical Research Council's Australian Alcohol Guidelines, October 2001). Where this information is collected by survey and the sample permits, population estimates should be presented by sex and 5-year age groups. Summary statistics may need to be adjusted for age and other relevant variables. It is recommended that, in surveys of alcohol consumption, data on age, sex, and other socio-demographic variables also be collected where it is possible and desirable to do so. It is also recommended that, when alcohol consumption is investigated in relation to health, data on other risk factors including overweight and obesity, smoking, high blood pressure and physical inactivity should be collected. The Australian Alcohol Guidelines: Health Risk and Benefits endorsed by the National Health and Medical Research Council in October 2001 have defined risk of harm in the short term and long term based on patterns of drinking. The table below outlines those patterns.

Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: The World Health Organisation, in its 2000 International Guide for Monitoring Alcohol Consumption and Related Harm document, suggests that in assessing alcohol consumption patterns a 'Graduated Quantity Frequency' method is preferred. This method requires that questions about the quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption should be asked to help determine short-term and long-term health consequences. This information can be collected (but not confined to) the following ways: • in a clinical setting with questions asked by a primary healthcare professional • as a self-completed questionnaire in a clinical setting • as part of a health survey • as part of a computer aided telephone interview. It should be noted that, particularly in telephone interviews, the question(s) asked may not be a direct repetition of the Value domain; yet they may still yield a response that could be coded to the full Value domain or a collapsed version of the Value domain.

Person—blood pressure (diastolic) (measured), millimetres of mercury NN[N] Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Blood pressure—diastolic (measured) METeOR identifier: 270072 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Definition: The person's diastolic blood pressure, measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). Data Element Concept: Person—blood pressure (diastolic) Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: NN[N] Maximum character length: 3 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 999 Not stated/inadequately described Unit of measure: Millimetre of mercury (mmHg) Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: In the primary care setting, blood pressure on both arms should be measured at the first visit, particularly if there is evidence of peripheral vascular disease. Variation of up to 5 mm Hg in blood pressure between arms can be acceptable. In certain conditions (e.g. chronic aortic dissection, subclavian artery stenosis) all blood pressure recordings should be taken from the arm with the highest reading. Measure sitting and standing blood pressures in elderly and diabetic patients or in other situations in which orthostatic hypotension might be suspected. Measure and record heart rate and rhythm. Note: Atrial fibrillation in a patient with hypertension indicates increased risk of stroke. In all patients, consideration should be given to obtaining blood pressure measurements outside the clinic setting either by self-measurement of blood pressure at home or by non-invasive ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Target-organ damage and cardiovascular outcome relate more closely to blood pressures measured outside the clinic, particularly with ambulatory monitoring. An accurate, reliable machine and technique are essential if home blood pressure monitoring is to be used. In up to 30% of patients who are hypertensive in the clinic, blood pressure outside the clinic is within acceptable limits ('white coat' hypertension). High blood pressure is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, and renal failure with the risk increasing along with the level of blood pressure (Ashwell 1997; DHSH 1994b; Whelton 1994; Kannel 1991). The higher the blood pressure, the higher the risk of both stroke and coronary heart disease. The dividing line between normotension and hypertension is arbitrary. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures are predictors of heart, stroke and vascular disease at all ages (Kannel 1991), although diastolic blood pressure is a weaker predictor of death due to coronary heart disease (Neaton & Wentworth 1992). The risk of disease increases as the level of blood pressure increases. When blood pressure is lowered by 4-6 mm Hg over two to three years, it is estimated that the risk reduces by14 per cent in patients with coronary heart disease and by 42 per cent in stroke patients (Collins et al 1990; Rose 1992.) When high blood pressure is controlled by medication, the risk of cardiovascular disease is reduced, but not to the levels of unaffected people. In settings such as general practice where the monitoring of a person's health is ongoing and where a measure can change over time, the service contact date should be recorded. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The diastolic pressure is recorded as phase V Korotkoff (disappearance of sound) however phase IV Korotkoff (muffling of sound) is used if the sound continues towards zero but does not cease. If Blood pressure - diastolic is not collected or not able to be collected, code 999. Collection methods: Measurement protocol for resting blood pressure: The diastolic blood pressure is one component of a routine blood pressure measurement (i.e. systolic/diastolic) and reflects the minimum pressure to which the arteries are exposed. • The patient should be relaxed and seated, preferably for several minutes, (at least 5 minutes). Ideally, patients should not take caffeine-containing beverages or smoke for two hours before blood pressure is measured. • Ideally, patients should not exercise within half an hour of the measurement being taken (National Nutrition Survey User's Guide). • Use a mercury sphygmomanometer. All other sphygmomanometers should be calibrated regularly against mercury sphygmomanometers to ensure accuracy. • Bladder length should be at least 80%, and width at least 40% of the circumference of the mid-upper arm. If the velcro on the cuff is not totally attached, the cuff is probably too small. • Wrap cuff snugly around upper arm, with the centre of the bladder of the cuff positioned over the brachial artery and the lower border of the cuff about 2 cm above the bend of the elbow. • Ensure cuff is at heart level, whatever the position of the patient. • Palpate the radial pulse of the arm in which the blood pressure is being measured. • Inflate cuff to the pressure at which the radial pulse disappears and note this value. Deflate cuff, wait 30 seconds, and then inflate cuff to 30 mm Hg above the pressure at which the radial pulse disappeared. • Deflate the cuff at a rate of 2-3 mm Hg/beat (2-3 mm Hg/sec) or less. • Recording the diastolic pressure use phase V Korotkoff (disappearance of sound). Use phase IV Korotkoff (muffling of sound) only if sound continues towards zero but does not cease. Wait 30 seconds before repeating the procedure in the same arm. Average the readings. • If the first two readings differ by more than 4 mmHg diastolic or if initial readings are high, take several readings after five minutes of quiet rest. Comments: The pressure head is the height difference a pressure can raise a fluid's equilibrium level above the surface subjected to pressure. (Blood pressure is usually measured as a head of Mercury, and this is the unit of measure nominated for this metadata item.) The current (2002) definition of hypertension is based on the level of blood pressure above which treatment is recommended, and this depends on the presence of other risk factors, e.g. age, diabetes etc. (NHF 1999 Guide to Management of Hypertension).

Cholesterol—total (measured)

Person—cholesterol level (measured), total millimoles per litre N[N].N Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Cholesterol—total (measured) METeOR identifier: 359245 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/10/2008 Definition: A person's total cholesterol (TC), measured in millimoles per litre. Data Element Concept: Person—cholesterol level Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[N].N Maximum character length: 3 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 99.9 Not stated/inadequately described. Unit of measure: Millimole per litre (mmol/L) Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: Scientific studies have shown a continuous relationship between lipid levels and coronary heart disease and overwhelming evidence that lipid lowering interventions reduce coronary heart disease progression, morbidity and mortality. Studies show a positive relationship between an individual's total blood cholesterol level and risk of coronary heart disease as well as death (Kannel & Gordon 1970; Pocock et al. 1989). Many studies have demonstrated the significance of blood cholesterol components as risk factors for heart, stroke and vascular disease. Several generalisations can be made from these cholesterol lowering trials: • that the results of the intervention trials are consistent with the prospective population studies in which (excluding possible regression dilution bias) a 1.0 mmol/L reduction in plasma total cholesterol translates into an approximate 20% reduction in the risk of future coronary events. • It should be emphasised, however, that this conclusion does not necessarily apply beyond the range of cholesterol levels which have been tested in these studies. • That the benefits of cholesterol lowering are apparent in people with and without coronary artery disease. There is high level evidence that in patients with existing coronary heart disease, lipid intervention therapy reduces the risk of subsequent stroke Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Measurement in mmol/L to 1 decimal place. Record the absolute result of the total cholesterol measurement. When reporting, record whether or not the measurement of Cholesterol-total - measured was performed in a fasting specimen. Collection methods: When reporting, record absolute result of the most recent Cholesterol-total - measured in the last 12 months to the nearest 0.1 mmol/L. Measurement of lipid levels should be carried out by laboratories, or practices, which have been accredited to perform these tests by the National Association of Testing Authorities. • To be collected as a single venous blood sample, preferably following a 12-hour fast where only water and medications have been consumed. • Prolonged tourniquet use can artefactually increase levels by up to 20%. Comments: In settings where the monitoring of a person's health is ongoing and where a measure can change over time (such as general practice), the Service contact—service contact date, DDMMYYYY should be recorded. High blood cholesterol is a key factor in heart, stroke and vascular disease, especially coronary heart disease. Poor nutrition can be a contributing factor to heart, stroke and vascular disease as a population's level of saturated fat intake is the prime determinant of its level of blood cholesterol. Large clinical trials have shown that people at highest risk of cardiovascular events (e.g. pre-existing ischaemic heart disease) will derive the greatest benefit from lipid lowering drugs. Recent trials have suggested that there should be no cholesterol level threshold for the initiation of treatment in tis group of patients. In October 2006, the PBS criteria for lipid-lowering drugs was expanded to include all patients identified as high-risk (based on PBS criteria) regardless of their cholesterol level.

Record absolute result of the most recent serum creatinine measurement in the last 12 months to the nearest µmol/L (micromoles per litre). Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: There is no agreed standard as to which units serum creatinine should be recorded in. Note: If the measurement is obtained in mmol/L it is to be multiplied by 1000. Collection methods: Measurement of creatinine should be carried out by laboratories, or practices, which have been accredited to perform these tests by the National Association of Testing Authority. • Single venous blood test taken at the time of other screening blood tests. • Fasting not required. Comments: Serum creatinine can be used to help determine renal function. Serum creatinine by itself is an insensitive measure of renal function because it does not increase until more than 50% of renal function has been lost. Serum creatinine together with a patient's age, weight and sex can be used to calculate glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is an indicator of renal status/ function. The calculation uses the Cockcroft-Gault formula. Creatinine is normally produced in fairly constant amounts in the muscles, as a result the breakdown of phosphocreatine. It passes into the blood and is excreted in the urine. Serum creatinine can be used to help determine renal function. The elevation in the creatinine level in the blood indicates disturbance in kidney function. GFR decreases with age, but serum creatinine remains relatively stable. When serum creatinine is measured, renal function in the elderly tends to be overestimated, and GFR should be used to assess renal function, according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula: GFR (ml/min) = (140 - age [yrs]) x body wt (kg) [x 0.85 (for women)] 814 x serum creatinine (mmol/l) An alternative formula is derived from the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study and does not rely on knowledge of body weight: GFR (ml/min/1.73m2) = 32788 x creatinine-1.154 (umol/L) x age-0.203 x (males: 1, females: 0.742). To determine the degree of chronic renal impairment GFR > 90ml/min - normal GFR >60 - 90ml/min - mild renal impairment GFR >30 - 60ml/min - moderate renal impairment GFR 0 - 30 ml/min - severe renal impairment Note: The above GFR measurement should be for a period greater than 3 months. GFR may also be assessed by 24-hour creatinine clearance adjusted for body surface area. In general, patients with GFR < 30 ml/min are at high risk of progressive deterioration in renal function and should be referred to a nephrology service for specialist management of renal failure. Patients should be assessed for the complications of chronic renal impairment including anaemia, hyperparathyroidism and be referred for specialist management if required. Patients with rapidly declining renal function or clinical features to suggest that residual renal function may decline rapidly (ie. hypertensive, proteinuric (>1g/24hours), significant comorbid illness) should be considered for referral to a nephrologist well before function declines to less than 30ml/min.

Data Element Concept: Person—date of birth Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Date Data type: Date/Time Format: DDMMYYYY Maximum character length: 8 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: If date of birth is not known or cannot be obtained, provision should be made to collect or estimate age. Collected or estimated age would usually be in years for adults, and to the nearest three months (or less) for children aged less than two years. Additionally, an estimated date flag or a date accuracy indicator should be reported in conjunction with all estimated dates of birth. For data collections concerned with children's services, it is suggested that the estimated date of birth of children aged under 2 years should be reported to the nearest 3 month period, i.e. 0101, 0104, 0107, 0110 of the estimated year of birth. For example, a child who is thought to be aged 18 months in October of one year would have his/her estimated date of birth reported as 0104 of the previous year. Again, an estimated date flag or date accuracy indicator should be reported in conjunction with all estimated dates of birth. Collection methods: Information on date of birth can be collected using the one question: What is your/(the person's) date of birth? In self-reported data collections, it is recommended that the following response format is used: Date of birth: _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ This enables easy conversion to the preferred representational layout (DDMMYYYY). For record identification and/or the derivation of other metadata items that require accurate date of birth information, estimated dates of birth should be identified by a date accuracy indicator to prevent inappropriate use of date of birth data. The linking of client records from diverse sources, the sharing of patient data, and data analysis for research and planning all rely heavily on the accuracy and integrity of the collected data. In order to maintain data integrity and the greatest possible accuracy an indication of the accuracy of the date collected is critical. The collection of an indicator of the accuracy of the date may be essential in confirming or refuting the positive identification of a person. For this reason it is strongly recommended that the data element Date—accuracy indicator, code AAA also be recorded at the time of record creation to flag the accuracy of the data. Comments: Privacy issues need to be taken into account in asking persons their date of birth. Wherever possible and wherever appropriate, date of birth should be used rather than age because the actual date of birth allows a more precise calculation of age. When date of birth is an estimated or default value, national health and community services collections typically use 0101 or 0107 or 3006 as the estimate or default for DDMM. It is suggested that different rules for reporting data may apply when estimating the date of birth of children aged under 2 years because of the rapid growth and development of children within this age group which means that a child's development can vary considerably over the course of a year. Thus, more specific reporting of estimated age is suggested.

Person—diabetes mellitus status, code NN Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Diabetes status METeOR identifier: 270194 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Indigenous, Endorsed 13/03/2015 Definition: Whether a person has or is at risk of diabetes, as represented by a code. Data Element Concept: Person—diabetes mellitus status Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: String Format: NN Maximum character length: 2 Permissible values: Value Meaning 01 Type 1 diabetes 02 Type 2 diabetes 03 Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) 04 Other (secondary diabetes) 05 Previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) 06 Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) 07 Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) 08 Not diagnosed with diabetes 09 Not assessed Supplementary values: 99 Not stated/inadequately described Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Note that where there is a Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or Previous GDM (i.e. permissible values 3 & 5) and a current history of Type 2 diabetes then record 'Code 2' Type 2 diabetes. This same principle applies where a history of either Impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) or Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and a current history and Type 2 diabetes, then record 'Code 2' Type 2 diabetes. CODE 01 Type 1 diabetes Beta-cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency. Includes those cases attributed to an autoimmune process, as well as those with beta-cell destruction and who are prone to ketoacidosis for which neither an aetiology nor pathogenesis is known (idiopathic). It does not include those forms of beta-cell destruction or failure to which specific causes can be assigned (e.g. cystic fibrosis, mitochondrial defects). Some subjects with Type 1 diabetes can be identified at earlier clinical stages than 'diabetes mellitus'. CODE 02 Type 2 diabetes Type 2 includes the common major form of diabetes, which results from defect(s) in insulin secretion, almost always with a major contribution from insulin resistance. CODE 03 Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) GDM is a carbohydrate intolerance resulting in hyperglycaemia of variable severity with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. The definition applies irrespective of whether or not insulin is used for treatment or the condition persists after pregnancy. Diagnosis is to be based on the Australian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society (ADIPS) Guidelines. CODE 04 Other (secondary diabetes) This categorisation include less common causes of diabetes mellitus, but are those in which the underlying defect or disease process can be identified in a relatively specific manner. They include, for example, genetic defects of beta-cell function, genetic defects in insulin action, diseases of the exocrine pancreas, endocrinopathies, drug or chemical-induced, infections, uncommon forms of immune-mediated diabetes, other genetic syndromes sometimes associated with diabetes. CODE 05 Previous GDM Where the person has a history of GDM. CODE 06 Impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) IFG or 'non-diabetic fasting hyperglycaemia' refers to fasting glucose concentrations, which are lower than those required to diagnose diabetes mellitus but higher than the normal reference range. An individual is considered to have IFG if they have a fasting plasma glucose of 6.1 or greater and less than 7.0 mmol/L if challenged with an oral glucose load, they have a fasting plasma glucose concentration of 6.1 mmol/L or greater, but less than 7.0 mmol/L, AND the 2 hour value in the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) is less than 7.8 mmol/L. CODE 07 Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) IGT is categorised as a stage in the natural history of disordered carbohydrate metabolism; subjects with IGT have an increased risk of progressing to diabetes. IGT refers to a metabolic state intermediate between normal glucose homeostasis and diabetes. Those individuals with IGT manifest glucose intolerance only when challenged with an oral glucose load. IGT is diagnosed if the 2 hour value in the OGTT is greater than 7.8 mmol/L. and less than 11.1 mmol/L AND the fasting plasma glucose concentration is less than 7.0 mmol/L. CODE 08 Not diagnosed with diabetes The subject has no known diagnosis of Type 1, Type 2, GDM, Previous GDM, IFG, IGT or Other (secondary diabetes). CODE 09 Not assessed The subject has not had their diabetes status assessed. CODE 99 Not stated/inadequately described This code is for unknown or information unavailable. Collection methods: The diagnosis is derived from and must be substantiated by clinical documentation. Source and reference attributes Origin: Developed based on Definition, Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus and its Complications Part 1: Diagnosis and Classifications of Diabetes Mellitus Provisional Report of a World Health Organization Consultation (Alberti & Zimmet 1998). Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: People with diabetes have two to five times increased risk of developing heart, stroke and vascular disease (Zimmet & Alberti 1997). Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in people with diabetes. Diabetes is also an important cause of stroke, and people with diabetes may have a worse prognosis after stroke. Heart, stroke and vascular disease and diabetes share common risk factors, but also diabetes is an independent risk factor for heart, stroke and vascular disease. During the 1995 National Health Survey, about 15 per cent of those with diabetes reported having heart disease, at almost six times the rate noted among people without diabetes. In 1996-97, almost one in six hospital separations, with coronary heart disease as any listed diagnosis, also had diabetes recorded as an associated diagnosis. Heart disease appears earlier in life and is more often fatal among those with diabetes. Diabetes may accentuate the role of elevated blood pressure in stroke. The incidence and prevalence of peripheral vascular disease in those with diabetes increase with the duration of the peripheral vascular disease. Mortality is increased among patients with peripheral vascular disease and diabetes, in particular if foot ulcerations, infection or gangrene occur. There is limited information on whether the presence of heart, stroke and vascular disease promotes diabetes in some way. High blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity are often present along with diabetes. As well as all being independent cardiovascular risk factors, when they are in combination with glucose intolerance (a feature of diabetes) and other risk factors such as physical inactivity and smoking, these factors present a greater risk for heart, stroke and vascular disease. Evidence is accumulating that high cholesterol and glucose intolerance, which often occur together, may have a common aetiological factor. Despite these similarities, trends in cardiovascular mortality and diabetes incidence and mortality are moving in opposite directions. While the ageing of the population following reductions in cardiovascular mortality may have contributed to these contrasting trends, the role of other factors also needs to be clearly understood if common risk factor prevention strategies are to be considered. (From Commonwealth Department of Health & Aged Care and Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (1999) National Health Priority Areas Report: Cardiovascular Health). In settings such as general practice where the monitoring of a person's health is ongoing and where diabetes status can change over time, the service contact date should be recorded.

Height (measured)
Beskrivning

Person—height (measured), total centimetres NN[N].N Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Height (measured) METeOR identifier: 270361 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Definition: The height of a person measured in centimetres. Context: Public health and health care Data Element Concept: Person—height Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: NN[N].N Maximum character length: 4 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 999.9 Not measured Unit of measure: Centimetre (cm) Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: In order to ensure consistency in measurement, the measurement protocol described under Collection methods should be used. Measurements of height should be assessed in relation to children and adolescents' age and pubertal status. Collection methods: The measurement protocol described below are those recommended by the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry as described by Norton et al. (1996), and the World Health Organization (WHO Expert Committee 1995), which was adapted from Lohman et al. (1988). Measurement protocol: Height measurements can be based on recumbent length or standing height. In general, length measurements are recommended for children under 2 years of age and height measurements for others. The measurement of height requires a vertical metric rule, a horizontal headboard, and a non-compressible flat even surface on which the subject stands. The equipment may be fixed or portable, and should be described and reported. The graduations on the metric rule should be at 0.1 cm intervals, and the metric rule should have the capacity to measure up to at least 210 cm. Measurement intervals and labels should be clearly readable under all conditions of use of the instrument. Apparatus that allows height to be measured while the subject stands on a platform scale is not recommended. Adults and children who can stand: The subject should be measured without shoes (i.e. is barefoot or wears thin socks) and wears little clothing so that the positioning of the body can be seen. Anything that may affect or interfere with the measurement should be noted on the data collection form (e.g. hairstyles and accessories, or physical problems). The subject stands with weight distributed evenly on both feet, heels together, and the head positioned so that the line of vision is at right angles to the body. The correct position for the head is in the Frankfort horizontal plan (Norton et al. 1996). The arms hang freely by the sides. The head, back, buttocks and heels are positioned vertically so that the buttocks and the heels are in contact with the vertical board. To obtain a consistent measure, the subject is asked to inhale deeply and stretch to their fullest height. The measurer applies gentle upward pressure through the mastoid processes to maintain a fully erect position when the measurement is taken. Ensure that the head remains positioned so that the line of vision is at right angles to the body, and the heels remain in contact with the base board. The movable headboard is brought onto the top of the head with sufficient pressure to compress the hair. The measurement is recorded to the nearest 0.1 cm. Take a repeat measurement. If the two measurements disagree by more than 0.5 cm, then take a third measurement. All raw measurements should be recorded on the data collection form. If practical, it is preferable to enter the raw data into the database as this enables intra-observer and, where relevant, inter-observer errors to be assessed. The subject's measured height is subsequently calculated as the mean of the two observations, or the mean of the two closest measurements if a third is taken, and recorded on the form. If only a mean value is entered into the database then the data collection forms should be retained. It may be necessary to round the mean value to the nearest 0.1 cm. If so, rounding should be to the nearest even digit to reduce systematic over reporting (Armitage & Berry 1994). For example, a mean value of 172.25 cm would be rounded to 172.2 cm, while a mean value of 172.35 cm would be rounded to 172.4 cm. Infants: For the measurement of supine length of children up to and including 2 years of age, two observers are required. One observer positions the head correctly while the other ensures the remaining position is correct and brings the measuring board in contact with the feet. The subject lies in a supine position on a recumbent length table or measuring board. The crown of the head must touch the stationary, vertical headboard. The subject's head is held with the line of vision aligned perpendicular to the plane of the measuring surface. The shoulders and buttocks must be flat against the table top, with the shoulders and hips aligned at right angles to the long axis of the body. The legs must be extended at the hips and knees and lie flat against the table top and the arms rest against the sides of the trunk. The measurer must ensure that the legs remain flat on the table and must shift the movable board against the heels. In infants care has to be taken to extend the legs gently. In some older children two observers may also be required. In general, length or height is measured and reported to the nearest 0.1 cm. For any child, the length measurement is approximately 0.5 - 1.5 cm greater than the height measurement. It is therefore recommended that when a length measurement is applied to a height-based reference for children over 24 months of age (or over 85 cm if age is not known), 1.0 cm be subtracted before the length measurement is compared with the reference. It is also recommended that as a matter of procedure and data recording accuracy, the date be recorded when the change is made from supine to standing height measure. Validation and quality control measures: All equipment, whether fixed or portable should be checked prior to each measurement session to ensure that both the headboard and floor (or footboard) are at 90 degrees to the vertical rule. With some types of portable anthropometer it is necessary to check the correct alignment of the headboard, during each measurement, by means of a spirit level. Within- and, if relevant, between-observer variability should be reported. They can be assessed by the same (within-) or different (between-) observers repeating the measurement of height, on the same subjects, under standard conditions after a short time interval. The standard deviation of replicate measurements (technical error of measurement (Pederson & Gore 1996)) between observers should not exceed 5 mm and be less than 5 mm within observers. Extreme values at the lower and upper end of the distribution of measured height should be checked both during data collection and after data entry. Individuals should not be excluded on the basis of true biological difference. Last digit preference, and preference or avoidance of certain values, should be analysed in the total sample and (if relevant) by observer, survey site and over time if the survey period is long. Comments: This metadata item applies to persons of all ages. It is recommended for use in population surveys and health care settings. It is recommended that in population surveys, sociodemographic data including ethnicity should be collected, as well as other risk factors including physiological status (e.g. pregnancy), physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption. Summary statistics may need to be adjusted for these variables. Metadata items currently exist for sex, date of birth, country of birth, Indigenous status and smoking. Metadata items are being developed for physical activity. Presentation of data: Means, 95% confidence intervals, medians and centiles should be reported to one decimal place. Where the sample permits, population estimates should be presented by sex and 5-year age groups. However 5-year age groups are not generally suitable for children and adolescents. Estimates based on sample surveys may need to take into account sampling weights. For consistency with conventional practice, and for current comparability with international data sets, recommended centiles are 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 75, 85, 90 and 95. To estimate the 5th and 95th centiles, a sample size of at least 200 is recommended for each group for which the centiles are being specified. For some reporting purposes, it may be desirable to present height data in categories. It is recommended that 5 cm groupings are used for this purpose. Height data should not be rounded before categorisation. The following categories may be appropriate for describing the heights of Australian men, women, children and adolescents although the range will depend on the population: Height 70 cm = Height 75 cm = Height ... in 5 cm categories 185 cm = Height Height => 190 cm Relational attributes Related metadata references: Is used in the formation of Adult—body mass index (measured), ratio NN[N].N[N] Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Is used in the formation of Adult—body mass index (self-reported), ratio NN[N].N[N] Health, Standard 01/03/2005, National Health Performance Authority, Standard 24/10/2013 Is used in the formation of Child—body mass index (measured), ratio NN[N].N[N] Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Is used in the formation of Child—body mass index (self-reported), ratio NN[N].N[N] Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Supersedes Height - measured, version 2, DE, NHDD, NHIMG, Superseded 01/03/2005.pdf (28.7 KB) Implementation in Data Set Specifications: Acute coronary syndrome (clinical) DSS 2013- Health, Standard 02/05/2013 Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS Health, Standard 01/09/2012 Diabetes (clinical) DSS Health, Standard 21/09/2005 Perinatal DSS 2015-16 Health, Standard 13/11/2014

Cholesterol—HDL (measured)
Beskrivning

Person—high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (measured), total millimoles per litre [N].NN Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Cholesterol—HDL (measured) METeOR identifier: 270401 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Definition: A person's high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), measured in mmol/L. Data Element Concept: Person—high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: [N].NN Maximum character length: 3 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 9.99 Not measured/inadequately described Unit of measure: Millimole per litre (mmol/L) Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) is easily measured and has been shown to be a negative predictor of future coronary events. An inverse relationship between the level of HDL-C and the risk of developing premature coronary heart disease (CHD) has been a consistent finding in a large number of prospective population studies. In many of these studies, the level of HDL-C has been the single most powerful predictor of future coronary events. Key studies of the relationship between HDLs and CHD include the Framingham Heart Study (Castelli et al. 1986), the PROCAM Study (Assman et al 1998), the Helsinki Heart Study (Manninen et al. 1992) and the MRFIT study (Stamler et al. 1986; Neaton et al 1992). There are several well-documented functions of HDLs that may explain the ability of these lipoproteins to protect against arteriosclerosis (Barter and Rye 1996). The best recognised of these is the cholesterol efflux from cells promoted by HDLs in a process that may minimise the accumulation of foam cells in the artery wall. The major proteins of HDLs and also other proteins (e.g. paraoxonase) that co-transport with HDLs in plasma have anti-oxidant properties. Thus, HDLs have the ability to inhibit the oxidative modification of LDLs and may therefore reduce the atherogenicity of these lipoproteins. Overall, it has been concluded from the prospective population studies that for every 0.025 mmol/L increase in HDL-C, the coronary risk is reduced by 2-5%. For a review of the relationship between HDL-C and CHD, see Barter and Rye (1996). A level below 1.0 mmol/L increases risk approximately 2-fold (Gordon et al. 1989; Assmann et al. 1998).

In settings such as general practice where the monitoring of a person's health is ongoing and where a measure can change over time, the Service contact date should be recorded. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: When reporting, record whether or not the measurement of High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) was performed in a fasting specimen. In settings where the monitoring of a person's health is ongoing and where a measure can change over time (such as general practice), the date of assessment should be recorded. Collection methods: When reporting, record absolute result of the most recent HDL-Cholesterol measurement in the last 12 months to the nearest 0.01 mmol/L. Measurement of lipid levels should be carried out by laboratories, or practices, which have been accredited to perform these tests by the National Association of Testing Authorities. • To be collected as a single venous blood sample, preferably following a 12-hour fast where only water and medications have been consumed. • Prolonged tourniquet use can artefactually increase levels by up to 20%.

This is in accord with the first two of three components of the Commonwealth definition. Data Element Concept: Person—Indigenous status Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Aboriginal but not Torres Strait Islander origin 2 Torres Strait Islander but not Aboriginal origin 3 Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin 4 Neither Aboriginal nor Torres Strait Islander origin Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: This metadata item is based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) standard for Indigenous status. For detailed advice on its use and application please refer to the ABS Website as indicated in the Reference documents. The classification for Indigenous status has a hierarchical structure comprising two levels. There are four categories at the detailed level of the classification which are grouped into two categories at the broad level. There is one supplementary category for 'not stated' responses. The classification is as follows: Indigenous: • Aboriginal but not Torres Strait Islander origin. • Torres Strait Islander but not Aboriginal origin. • Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin. Non-Indigenous: • Neither Aboriginal nor Torres Strait Islander origin. Not stated/ inadequately described: This category is not to be available as a valid answer to the questions but is intended for use: • Primarily when importing data from other data collections that do not contain mappable data. • Where an answer was refused. • Where the question was not able to be asked prior to completion of assistance because the client was unable to communicate or a person who knows the client was not available. Only in the last two situations may the tick boxes on the questionnaire be left blank. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: The standard question for Indigenous Status is as follows: [Are you] [Is the person] [Is (name)] of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin? (For persons of both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin, mark both 'Yes' boxes.) No.................................................... Yes, Aboriginal............................... Yes, Torres Strait Islander............ This question is recommended for self-enumerated or interview-based collections. It can also be used in circumstances where a close relative, friend, or another member of the household is answering on behalf of the subject. It is strongly recommended that this question be asked directly wherever possible. When someone is not present, the person answering for them should be in a position to do so, i.e. this person must know well the person about whom the question is being asked and feel confident to provide accurate information about them. This question must always be asked regardless of data collectors' perceptions based on appearance or other factors. The Indigenous status question allows for more than one response. The procedure for coding multiple responses is as follows: If the respondent marks 'No' and either 'Aboriginal' or 'Torres Strait Islander', then the response should be coded to either Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander as indicated (i.e. disregard the 'No' response). If the respondent marks both the 'Aboriginal' and 'Torres Strait Islander' boxes, then their response should be coded to 'Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Origin'. If the respondent marks all three boxes ('No', 'Aboriginal' and 'Torres Strait Islander'), then the response should be coded to 'Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Origin' (i.e. disregard the 'No' response). This approach may be problematical in some data collections, for example when data are collected by interview or using screen based data capture systems. An additional response category Yes, both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander... may be included if this better suits the data collection practices of the agency or establishment concerned. Comments: The following definition, commonly known as 'The Commonwealth Definition', was given in a High Court judgement in the case of Commonwealth v Tasmania (1983) 46 ALR 625. 'An Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is a person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent who identifies as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and is accepted as such by the community in which he or she lives'. There are three components to the Commonwealth definition: • descent; • self-identification; and • community acceptance. In practice, it is not feasible to collect information on the community acceptance part of this definition in general purpose statistical and administrative collections and therefore standard questions on Indigenous status relate to descent and self-identification only.

Person—informal carer existence indicator, code N Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Informal carer existence indicator Synonymous names: Informal carer availability, Informal carer existence flag, Carer arrangements (informal) METeOR identifier: 320939 Registration status: Health, Standard 04/07/2007 Disability, Standard 07/10/2014 Community Services (retired), Standard 29/04/2006 Definition: Whether a person has an informal carer, as represented by a code. Data Element Concept: Person—informal carer existence indicator Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Yes 2 No Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: CODE 9 Not stated/inadequately described This code is not for use in primary data collections. Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: Informal carers are now present in 1 in 20 households in Australia (Schofield HL. Herrman HE, Bloch S, Howe A and Singh B. ANZ J PubH. 1997) and are acknowledged as having a very important role in the care of stroke survivors (Stroke Australia Task Force. National Stroke Strategy. NSF; 1997) and in those with end-stage renal disease. Absence of a carer may also preclude certain treatment approaches (for example, home dialysis for end-stage renal disease). Social isolation has also been shown to have a negative impact on prognosis in males with known coronary artery disease with several studies suggesting increased mortality rates in those living alone or with no confidant. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Informal carers may include those people who receive a pension or benefit for their caring role and people providing care under family care agreements. Excluded from the definition of informal carers are volunteers organised by formal services and paid workers. This metadata item is purely descriptive of a client's circumstances. It is not intended to reflect whether the informal carer is considered by the service provider to be capable of undertaking the caring role. The expressed views of the client and/or their carer should be used as the basis for determining whether the client is recorded as having an informal carer or not. When asking a client whether they have an informal carer, it is important for agencies or establishments to recognise that a carer does not always live with the person for whom they care. That is, a person providing significant care and assistance to the client does not have to live with the client in order to be called an informal carer. Collection methods: Agencies or establishments and service providers may collect this item at the beginning of each service episode and /or assess this information at subsequent assessments. Some agencies, establishments/providers may record this information historically so that they can track changes over time. Historical recording refers to the practice of maintaining a record of changes over time where each change is accompanied by the appropriate date. Examples of questions that have been used for data collection include: Home and Community Care NMDS ‘Do you have someone who helps look after you?’ Commonwealth State/Territory Disability Agreement NMDS ‘Does the service user have an informal carer, such as family member, friend or neighbour, who provides care and assistance on a regular and sustained basis? Comments: Recent years have witnessed a growing recognition of the critical role that informal support networks play in caring for frail older people and people with disabilities within the community. Not only are informal carers responsible for maintaining people with often high levels of functional dependence within the community, but the absence of an informal carer is a significant risk factor contributing to institutionalisation. Increasing interest in the needs of carers and the role they play has prompted greater interest in collecting more reliable and detailed information about carers and the relationship between informal care and the provision of and need for formal services. This definition of informal carer is not the same as the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) definition of principal carer, 2003 Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers and primary carer used in the 1998 survey. The ABS definitions require that the carer has or will provide care for a certain amount of time and that they provide certain types of care. The ABS defines a primary carer as a person of any age who provides the most informal assistance, in terms of help or supervision, to a person with one or more disabilities. The assistance has to be ongoing, or likely to be ongoing, for at least six months and be provided for one or more of the core activities (communication, mobility and self care). This may not be appropriate for community services agencies wishing to obtain information about a person's carer regardless of the amount of time that care is for, or the types of care provided. Information such as the amount of time for which care is provided can of course be collected separately but, if it were not needed, it would place a burden on service providers.

Data Element Concept: Person—low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[N].N Maximum character length: 3 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 99.9 Not stated/inadequately described Unit of measure: Millimole per litre (mmol/L) Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: Many studies have demonstrated the significance of blood cholesterol components as risk factors for heart, stroke and vascular disease. Scientific studies have shown a continuous relationship between lipid levels and Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and overwhelming evidence that lipid lowering interventions reduces CHD progression, morbidity and mortality. There are many large-scale, prospective population studies defining the relationship between plasma total (and Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL)) cholesterol and the future risk of developing CHD. The results of prospective population studies are consistent and support several general conclusions: • the majority of people with CHD do not have markedly elevated levels of plasma total cholesterol or LDL-C, • there is a continuous positive but curvilinear relationship between the concentration of plasma total (and LDL) cholesterol and the risk of having a coronary event and of dying from CHD, • there is no evidence that a low level of plasma (or LDL) cholesterol predisposes to an increase in non-coronary mortality. The excess non-coronary mortality at low cholesterol levels in the Honolulu Heart Study (Yano et al. 1983; Stemmermann et al. 1991) was apparent only in people who smoked and is consistent with a view that smokers may have occult smoking related disease that is responsible for both an increased mortality and a low plasma cholesterol. It should be emphasised that the prospective studies demonstrate an association between plasma total cholesterol and LDL-C and the risk of developing CHD. (Lipid Management Guidelines - 2001, MJA 2001; 175: S57-S88 and Commonwealth Department of Health & Ageing and Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (1999) National Health Priority Areas Report: Cardiovascular Health 1998. AIHW Cat. No. PHE 9. HEALTH and AIHW, Canberra pgs 14-17). In settings such as general practice where the monitoring of a person's health is ongoing and where a measure can change over time, the service contact date should be recorded. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Formula: LDL-C = (plasma total cholesterol) - (high density lipoprotein cholesterol) - (fasting plasma triglyceride divided by 2.2). Collection methods: The LDL-C is usually calculated from the Friedwald Equation (Friedwald et al. 1972), which depends on knowing the blood levels of the total cholesterol and HDL-C and the fasting level of the triglyceride. Note that the Friedwald equation becomes unreliable when the plasma triglyceride exceeds 4.5 mmol/L. Note also that while cholesterol levels are reliable for the first 24 hours after the onset of acute coronary syndromes, they may be unreliable for the subsequent 8 weeks after an event. • Measurement of lipid levels should be carried out by laboratories, or practices, which have been accredited to perform these tests by the National Association of Testing Authorities. • To be collected as a single venous blood sample, preferably following a 12-hour fast where only water and medications have been consumed. Comments: High blood cholesterol is a key factor in heart, stroke and vascular disease, especially coronary heart disease (CHD). Poor nutrition can be a contributing factor to heart, stroke and vascular disease as a population's level of saturated fat intake is the prime determinant of its level of blood cholesterol. The majority of the cholesterol in plasma is transported as a component of LDL-C. Recent trials support a target LDL-C of <2.0 mmol/L for high risk patients with existing coronary heart disease.

Research shows that of Australians who smoke, the overwhelming majority smoke cigarettes (manufactured or roll-your-own) rather than other tobacco products. From a public health point of view, consumption level is relevant only for regular smokers (those who smoke daily or at least weekly). Data on quantity smoked can be used to: • evaluate health promotion and disease prevention programs (assessment of interventions) • monitor health risk factors and progress towards National Health Goals and Targets • ascertain determinants and consequences of smoking • assess a person's exposure to tobacco smoke. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: This metadata item is relevant only for persons who currently smoke cigarettes daily or at least weekly. Daily consumption should be reported, rather than weekly consumption. Weekly consumption is converted to daily consumption by dividing by 7 and rounding to the nearest whole number. Quantities greater than 98 (extremely rare) should be recorded as 98. Collection methods: The recommended standard for collecting this information is the Standard Questions on the Use of Tobacco Among Adults (1998) - interviewer administered (Questions 3a and 3b) and self-administered (Questions 2a and 2b) versions. The questions cover persons aged 18 and over. Comments: The number of cigarettes smoked is an important measure of the magnitude of the tobacco problem for an individual.

Where this information is collected by survey and the sample permits, population estimates should be presented by sex and 5-year age groups. Summary statistics may need to be adjusted for age and other relevant variables. It is recommended that in surveys of smoking, data on age, sex and other socio-demographic variables should be collected. It is also recommended that when smoking is investigated in relation to health, data on other risk factors including pregnancy status, physical activity, overweight and obesity, and alcohol consumption should be collected.

Physical activity sufficiency status

Person—physical activity sufficiency status, code N Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Physical activity sufficiency status METeOR identifier: 270054 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Definition: Sufficiency of moderate or vigorous physical activity to confer a health benefit, as represented by a code. Data Element Concept: Person—physical activity sufficiency status Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Sufficient 2 Insufficient 3 Sedentary Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The clinician makes a judgment based on assessment of the person's reported physical activity history for a usual 7-day period where: CODE 1: Sufficient physical activity for health benefit for a usual 7-day period is calculated by summing the total minutes of walking, moderate and/or vigorous physical activity. Vigorous physical activity is weighted by a factor of two to account for its greater intensity. Total minutes for health benefit need to be equal to or more than 150 minutes per week. CODE 2: Insufficient physical activity for health benefit is where the sum of the total minutes of walking, moderate and/or vigorous physical activity for a usual 7-day period is less than 150 minutes but more than 0 minutes. CODE 3: Sedentary is where there has been no moderate and/or vigorous physical activity during a usual 7-day period. CODE 9: There is insufficient information to more accurately define the person's physical activity sufficiency status or the information is not known. Note: The National Heart Foundation of Australia and the National Physical Activity Guidelines for Australians describes moderate-intensity physical activity as causing a slight but noticeable, increase in breathing and heart rate and suggests that the person should be able to comfortably talk but not sing. Examples of moderate physical activity include brisk walking, low pace swimming, light to moderate intensity exercise classes. Vigorous physical activity is described as activity, which causes the person to 'huff and puff', and where talking in a full sentence between breaths is difficult. Examples of vigorous physical activity include jogging, swimming (freestyle) and singles tennis. Comments: The above grouping subdivides a population into three mutually exclusive categories. A sufficiently physically active person is a person who is physically active on a regular weekly basis equal to or in excess of that required for a health benefit. Sufficient physical activity for health results from participation in physical activity of adequate duration and intensity. Although there is no clear absolute threshold for health benefit, the accrual of 150 minutes of moderate (at least) intensity physical activity over a period of one week is thought to confer health benefit. Walking is included as a moderate intensity physical activity. Note that the 150 minutes of moderate physical activity should be made up of 30 minutes on most days of the week and this can be accumulated in 10 minute bouts (National Physical Activity Guidelines for Australians). Health benefits can also be obtained by participation in vigorous physical activity, in approximate proportion to the total amount of activity performed, measured either as energy expenditure or minutes of physical activity (Pate et al. 1995). Physical activity - health benefit for vigorous physical activity is calculated by: • incorporating a weighted factor of 2, to account for its greater intensity • summing the total minutes of walking, moderate and/or vigorous physical activity will then give an indication if a health benefit is likely. Insufficient physical activity describes a person who engages in regular weekly physical activity but not to the level required for a health benefit through either moderate or vigorous physical activity. A sedentary person is a person who does not engage in any regular weekly physical activity.

The most detailed level of the classification consists of base units (languages) which are represented by four-digit codes. The second level of the classification comprises narrow groups of languages (the Narrow group level), identified by the first two digits. The most general level of the classification consists of broad groups of languages (the Broad group level) and is identified by the first digit. The classification includes Australian Indigenous languages and sign languages. For example, the Lithuanian language has a code of 3102. In this case 3 denotes that it is an Eastern European language, while 31 denotes that it is a Baltic language. The Pintupi Aboriginal language is coded as 8713. In this case 8 denotes that it is an Australian Indigenous language and 87 denotes that the language is a Western Desert language. Language data may be output at the Broad group level, Narrow group level or base level of the classification. If necessary, significant languages within a Narrow group can be presented separately while the remaining languages in the Narrow group are aggregated. The same principle can be adopted to highlight significant Narrow groups within a Broad group.

Person—renal disease therapy, code N Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Renal disease therapy METeOR identifier: 270264 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Definition: The therapy the person is receiving for renal disease, as represented by a code. Data Element Concept: Person—renal disease therapy Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Drugs for modification of renal disease 2 Drugs for treatment of complications of renal disease 3 Peritoneal dialysis 4 Haemodialysis 5 Functioning renal transplant Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: CODE 1 Drugs for modification of renal disease This code is used to indicate drugs for modification of renal disease, includes drugs intended to slow progression of renal failure. Examples include antiproteinurics such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ATRA) and immunosuppressants. CODE 2 Drugs for treatment of complications of renal disease This code is used to indicate drugs for the treatment of the complications of renal disease. Examples include antihypertensive agents and drugs that are intended to correct biochemical imbalances caused by renal disease (e.g. loop diuretics, ACEI, erythropoietin, calcitriol, etc). CODE 3 Peritoneal dialysis This code is used to indicate peritoneal dialysis, chronic peritoneal dialysis, delivered at home, at a dialysis satellite centre or in hospital. CODE 4 Haemodialysis This code is used to indicate haemodialysis, chronic haemodialysis delivered at home, at a dialysis satellite centre or in hospital. CODE 5 Functioning renal transplant This code is used to indicate functioning renal transplant, the presence of a functioning renal transplant. Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: Nephrotoxic agents (including radiocontrast) should be avoided where possible. Drugs that impair auto-regulation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (NSAIDs, COX-2, ACEI, ATRA) should be used with caution in renal impairment, particularly when patients are acutely unwell for other reasons (sepsis, peri-operative etc). Although combination ACEI and diuretic can be a very potent and efficacious means of reducing blood pressure (and thereby slowing progression), either drug should be introduced individually and carefully in a patient with underlying renal impairment. At the very least, diuretic therapy should be held or reduced when commencing an ACEI in a patient with renal impairment. Combination therapy with ACEI, diuretics and NSAIDs or COX-2 may be particularly harmful. Drugs, which are primarily excreted by the kidney (e.g. metformin, sotalol, cisapride, etc.) need to be used with caution in patients with renal impairment. The calculated GFR needs to be determined and the dose reduced or the drug avoided as appropriate. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: More than one code can be recorded. Collection methods: To be collected on commencement of treatment and regularly reviewed.

CODE 3 Intersex or indeterminate Intersex or indeterminate, refers to a person, who because of a genetic condition, was born with reproductive organs or sex chromosomes that are not exclusively male or female or whose sex has not yet been determined for whatever reason. Intersex or indeterminate, should be confirmed if reported for people aged 90 days or greater. Comments: The definition for Intersex in Guide for use is sourced from the ACT Legislation (Gay, Lesbian and Transgender) Amendment Act 2003. Source and reference attributes Origin: Australian Capital Territory 2003.

Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: Operationally, sex is the distinction between male and female, as reported by a person or as determined by an interviewer. When collecting data on sex by personal interview, asking the sex of the respondent is usually unnecessary and may be inappropriate, or even offensive. It is usually a simple matter to infer the sex of the respondent through observation, or from other cues such as the relationship of the person(s) accompanying the respondent, or first name. The interviewer may ask whether persons not present at the interview are male or female. A person's sex may change during their lifetime as a result of procedures known alternatively as sex change, gender reassignment, transsexual surgery, transgender reassignment or sexual reassignment. Throughout this process, which may be over a considerable period of time, the person's sex could be recorded as either Male or Female. In data collections that use the ICD-10-AM classification, where sex change is the reason for admission, diagnoses should include the appropriate ICD-10-AM code(s) that clearly identify that the person is undergoing such a process. This code(s) would also be applicable after the person has completed such a process, if they have a procedure involving an organ(s) specific to their previous sex (e.g. where the patient has prostate or ovarian cancer). CODE 3 Intersex or indeterminate Is normally used for babies for whom sex has not been determined for whatever reason. Should not generally be used on data collection forms completed by the respondent. Should only be used if the person or respondent volunteers that the person is intersex or where it otherwise becomes clear during the collection process that the individual is neither male nor female. CODE 9 Not stated/inadequately described Is not to be used on primary collection forms. It is primarily for use in administrative collections when transferring data from data sets where the item has not been collected.

Source and reference attributes Reference documents: Standard Questions on the Use of Tobacco Among Adults (1998) Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: The recommended standard for collecting this information is the Standard Questions on the Use of Tobacco Among Adults - interviewer administered (Questions 1 and 4) and self-administered (Questions 1 and 1a) versions. The questionnaires are designed to cover persons aged 18 years and over. Comments: There are two other ways of categorising this information: • Regular and irregular smokers where a regular smoker includes someone who is a daily smoker or a weekly smoker. 'Regular' smoker is the preferred category to be reported in prevalence estimates. • Daily and occasional smokers where an occasional smoker includes someone who is a weekly or irregular smoker. The category of 'occasional' smoker can be used when the aim of the study is to draw contrast between daily smokers and other smokers. Where this information is collected by survey and the sample permits, population estimates should be presented by sex and 5-year age groups. Summary statistics may need to be adjusted for age and other relevant variables. Smoker type is used to define subpopulations of adults (age 18+ years) based on their smoking behaviour. Smoking has long been known as a health risk factor. Population studies indicate a relationship between smoking and increased mortality/morbidity. This data element can be used to estimate smoking prevalence. Other uses are: • To evaluate health promotion and disease prevention programs (assessment of interventions) • To monitor health risk factors and progress towards National Health Goals and Targets It is recommended that in surveys of smoking, data on age, sex and other socio-demographic variables should be collected. It is also recommended that when smoking is investigated in relation to health, data on other risk factors including pregnancy status, physical activity, overweight and obesity, and alcohol consumption should be collected.

Data Element Concept: Person—triglyceride level Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[N].N Maximum character length: 3 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 99.9 Not stated/inadequately described. Unit of measure: Millimole per litre (mmol/L) Data set specification specific attributes Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS DSS specific information: A relationship between triglyceride and High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) and chronic heart disease (CHD) event rates has been shown. This view is supported by the observation that the remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are the particles that occur in dysbetalipoproteinaemia, a condition associated with a very high risk of premature atherosclerotic vascular disease. There have been two comprehensive reviews of the relationship between plasma triglyceride and CHD (see Criqui et al. 1993 and Austin et al. 1991). Criqui concludes that triglyceride is not an independent predictor of CHD and is probably not causally related to the disease, while Austin provides a compelling case for a causal role of (at least) some triglyceride rich lipoproteins. Conclusions drawn from population studies of the relationship between plasma triglyceride and the risk of CHD include the following: • an elevated concentration of plasma triglyceride (> 2.0 mmol/L) is predictive of CHD when associated with either an increased concentration of LDL-C or a decreased concentration of HDL-C. • the relationship between CHD risk and plasma triglyceride is not continuous, with evidence that the risk is greatest in people with triglyceride levels between 2 and 6 mmol/L (Lipid Management Guidelines - 2001, MJA 2001; 175: S57-S88. National Heart Foundation of Australia and the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand). It is likely that the positive relationship between plasma triglyceride and CHD, as observed in many population studies, is because an elevated level of plasma triglyceride in some people is a reflection of an accumulation of the atherogenic remnants of chylomicrons and very Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL). These particles are rich in both triglyceride and cholesterol and appear to be at least as atherogenic as LDL. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Record the absolute result of the total triglyceride measurement. Collection methods: Measurement of lipid levels should be carried out by laboratories, or practices, which have been accredited to perform these tests by the National Association of Testing Authorities. • To be collected as a single venous blood sample, preferably following a 12-hour fast where only water and medications have been consumed. Note that to calculate the low-density lipoprotein - cholesterol (LDL-C) from the Friedwald Equation (Friedwald et al, 1972): • a fasting level of plasma triglyceride and knowledge of the levels of plasma total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein - cholesterol (HDL-C) is required, • the Friedwald equation becomes unreliable when the plasma triglyceride exceeds 4.5 mmol/L, and • that while levels are reliable for the first 24 hours after the onset of acute coronary syndromes, they may be unreliable for the subsequent 8 weeks after an event.

Waist circumference (measured)
Beskrivning

Person—waist circumference (measured), total centimetres NN[N].N Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Waist circumference (measured) METeOR identifier: 270129 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Definition: A person's waist circumference measured in centimetres. Data Element Concept: Person—waist circumference Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: NN[N].N Maximum character length: 4 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 999.9 Not measured Unit of measure: Centimetre (cm) Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: The collection of anthropometric measurements, particularly in those who are overweight or obese or who are concerned about their weight, should be performed with great sensitivity, and without drawing attention to an individual's weight. The measurement protocol described below is that recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO Expert Committee 1995) which was adapted from Lohman et al. (1988) and the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry as described by Norton et al. (1996). In order to ensure consistency in measurement, the following measurement protocol should be used. Measurement protocol: The measurement of waist circumference requires a narrow (7 mm wide), flexible, inelastic tape measure. The kind of tape used should be described and reported. The graduations on the tape measure should be at 0.1 cm intervals and the tape should have the capacity to measure up to 200 cm. Measurement intervals and labels should be clearly readable under all conditions of use of the tape measure. The subject should remove any belts and heavy outer clothing. Measurement of waist circumference should be taken over at most one layer of light clothing. Ideally the measure is made directly over the skin. The subject stands comfortably with weight evenly distributed on both feet, and the feet separated about 25-30 cm. The arms should hang loosely at the sides. Posture can affect waist circumference. The measurement is taken midway between the inferior margin of the last rib and the crest of the ilium, in the mid-axillary plane. Each landmark should be palpated and marked, and the midpoint determined with a tape measure and marked. The circumference is measured with an inelastic tape maintained in a horizontal plane, at the end of normal expiration. The tape is snug, but does not compress underlying soft tissues. The measurer is positioned by the side of the subject to read the tape. To ensure contiguity of the two parts of the tape from which the circumference is to be determined, the cross-handed technique of measurement, as described by Norton et al. (1996), should be used. Ideally an assistant will check the position of the tape on the opposite side of the subject's body. The measurement is recorded at the end of a normal expiration to the nearest 0.1 cm. Take a repeat measurement and record it to the nearest 0.1 cm. If the two measurements disagree by more than 1 cm, take a third measurement. All raw measurements should be recorded on the data collection form. If practical, it is preferable to enter the raw data into the database as this enables intra-observer and, where relevant, inter-observer errors to be assessed. The subject's measured waist circumference is subsequently calculated as the mean of the two observations, or the mean of the two closest measurements if a third is taken, and recorded on the form. If only a mean value is entered into the database then the data collection forms should be retained. It may be necessary to round the mean value to the nearest 0.1 cm. If so, rounding should be to the nearest even digit to reduce systematic over-reporting (Armitage & Berry 1994). For example, a mean value of 72.25 cm would be rounded to 72.2 cm, while a mean value of 72.35 cm would be rounded to 72.4 cm. Validation and quality control measures: Steel tapes should be checked against a 1 metre engineer's rule every 12 months. If tapes other than steel are used they should be checked daily against a steel rule. Within- and, if relevant, between-observer variability should be reported. They can be assessed by the same (within -) or different (between-) observers repeating the measurement, on the same subjects, under standard conditions after a short time interval. The standard deviation of replicate measurements (technical error of measurement (Pederson & Gore 1996) between observers should not exceed 2% and be less than 1.5% within observers. Extreme values at the lower and upper end of the distribution of measured waist circumference should be checked both during data collection and after data entry. Individuals should not be excluded on the basis of true biological difference. Last-digit preference, and preference or avoidance of certain values, should be analysed in the total sample and (if relevant) by observer, survey site and over time if the survey period is long. Comments: This metadata item is recommended for use in population surveys and health care settings. It is recommended that in population surveys, sociodemographic data including ethnicity should be collected, as well as other risk factors including physiological status (e.g. pregnancy), physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption. Summary statistics may need to be adjusted for these variables. National health metadata items currently exist for sex, date of birth, country of birth, Indigenous status and smoking. Metadata items are being developed for physical activity. Presentation of data: Means, 95% confidence intervals, medians and centiles should be reported to one decimal place. Where the sample permits, population estimates should be presented by sex and 5-year age groups. However 5-year age groups are not generally suitable for children and adolescents. Estimates based on sample surveys may need to take into account sampling weights. For consistency with conventional practice, and for current comparability with international data sets, recommended centiles are 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 75, 85, 90 and 95. To estimate the 5th and 95th centiles, a sample size of at least 200 is recommended for each group for which the centiles are being specified. For reporting purposes, it may be desirable to present waist circumference in categories. It is recommended that 5-cm groupings are used for this purpose. Waist circumference should not be rounded before categorisation. The following categories may be appropriate for describing the waist circumferences of Australian men, women children and adolescents, although the range will depend on the population. Waist 35 cm = Waist 40 cm = Waist ... in 5 cm categories 105 cm = Waist Waist => 110 cm Source and reference attributes Submitting organisation: World Health Organization International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry Relational attributes Related metadata references: Is used in the formation of Adult—waist-to-hip ratio, N.NN Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Supersedes Waist circumference - measured, version 2, DE, NHDD, NHIMG, Superseded 01/03/2005.pdf (26.0 KB) Implementation in Data Set Specifications: Cardiovascular disease (clinical) DSS Health, Standard 01/09/2012

Data Element Concept: Person—weight Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[NN].N Maximum character length: 4 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 999.9 Not collected Unit of measure: Kilogram (Kg) Unit of measure precision: 1 Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: A continuous variable measured to the nearest 0.1 kg. CODE 999.9 Not collected Use this code if measured weight is not collected. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: In order to ensure consistency in measurement, the measurement protocol described under Collection methods should be used. Collection methods: The collection of anthropometric measurements, particularly in those who are overweight or obese or who are concerned about their weight, should be performed with great sensitivity and without drawing attention to an individual's weight. The measurement protocol described below is that recommended by the WHO Expert Committee (1995). Measurement protocol: Equipment used should be described and reported. Scales should have a resolution of at least 0.1kg and should have the capacity to weigh up to at least 200 kg. Measurement intervals and labels should be clearly readable under all conditions of use of the instrument. Scales should be capable of being calibrated across the entire range of measurements. Precision error should be no more than 0.1kg. Scales should be calibrated on each day of use. Manufacturers' guidelines should be followed with regard to the transportation of the scales. Adults and children who can stand: The subject stands over the centre of the weighing instrument, with the body weight evenly distributed between both feet. Heavy jewellery should be removed and pockets emptied. Light indoor clothing can be worn, excluding shoes, belts, and sweater. Any variations from light indoor clothing (e.g. heavy clothing, such as kaftans or coats worn because of cultural practices) should be noted on the data collection form. Adjustments for non-standard clothing (i.e. other than light indoor clothing) should only be made in the data checking/cleaning stage prior to data analysis. If the subject has had one or more limbs amputated, record this on the data collection form and weigh them as they are. If they are wearing an artificial limb, record this on the data collection form but do not ask them to remove it. Similarly, if they are not wearing the limb, record this but do not ask them to put it on. The measurement is recorded to the nearest 0.1 kg. If the scales do not have a digital readout, take a repeat measurement. If the two measurements disagree by more than 0.5 kg, then take a third measurement. All raw measurements should be recorded on the data collection form. If practical, it is preferable to enter the raw data into the database as this enables intra-observer and, where relevant, inter-observer errors to be assessed. The subject's measured weight is subsequently calculated as the mean of the two observations, or the mean of the two closest measurements if a third is taken, and recorded on the form. If only a mean value is entered into the database then the data collection forms should be retained. It may be necessary to round the mean value to the nearest 0.1 kg. If so, rounding should be to the nearest even digit to reduce systematic over reporting (Armitage and Berry 1994). For example, a mean value of 72.25 kg would be rounded to 72.2 kg, while a mean value of 72.35 kg would be rounded to 72.4 kg. Infants: Birth weight and gender should be recorded with gestational age. During infancy a levelled pan scale with a bean and movable weights or digital scales capable of measuring to two decimal places of a kilogram are acceptable. Birth weight should be determined within 12 hours of birth. The infant, with or without a nappy or diaper is placed on the scales so that the weight is distributed equally about the centre of the pan. When the infant is lying or suspended quietly, weight is recorded to the nearest 10 grams. If the nappy or diaper is worn, its weight is subtracted from the observed weight i.e. reference data for infants are based on nude weights. Validation and quality control measures: If practical, equipment should be checked daily using one or more objects of known weight in the range to be measured. It is recommended that the scale be calibrated at the extremes and in the mid range of the expected weight of the population being studied. Within- and, if relevant, between-observer variability should be reported. They can be assessed by the same (within -) or different (between-) observers repeating the measurement of weight, on the same subjects, under standard conditions after a short time interval. The standard deviation of replicate measurements (technical error of measurement) between observers should not exceed 0.5 kg and be less than 0.5 kg within observers. Extreme values at the lower and upper end of the distribution of measured height should be checked both during data collection and after data entry. Individuals should not be excluded on the basis of true biological difference. Last digit preference, and preference or avoidance of certain values, should be analysed in the total sample and (if relevant) by observer, survey site and over time if the survey period is long.
