Description
Country code for the address of patient’s current usual residence. If the patient has multiple tumors, the current country of residence should be the same for all tumors. This data item became part of the NAACCR transmission record effective with Volume II, Version 13 in order to include country and state for each geographic item and to use interoperable codes. It supplements the item Addr Current--State [1820].
Rationale
Country of patient’s current residence is an important element of the patient’s residential history profile and is useful for understanding risk factors, assessment of patient prognosis, and chances for survival.
