NAACCR XML: Patient.nameMaiden
Alternate Names
Maiden Name (CoC)
Description
Maiden name of female patients who are or have been married.
Rationale
This is used to link reports on a woman who changed her name between reports. It also is critical when using Spanish surname algorithms to categorize ethnicity.
The field should be left blank if the maiden name is not known or not applicable. Since a value in this field may be used by linkage software or other computer algorithms, only legitimate surnames are allowable, and any variation of "unknown" or "not applicable" is not allowable.
Note: This data item is no longer supported by CoC (as of January 1, 2003).
