Description
Attach a declared precision code to a recorded death date.
Aging research distinguishes participant and informant identities, calendar-month coordinates, time-use exposure and event/censoring status. Proxy responses and missing codes carry different meanings from direct observations. Local record summaries do not establish lifespan, legal status, accessibility or appropriate care.
Attach a declared precision code to a recorded death date.
When to use this tool
Use Aging Panel Death Date Precision Code when checking the stated aging-study record, timing, censoring or support convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter participantId, deathDateText, suppliedPrecision. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty participant ID, death-date text and supplied precision wording. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| participantId | Participant Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| deathDateText | Death Date Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedPrecision | Nonempty declared wording, not a validated date-precision vocabulary. | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"participantId": "P17",
"deathDateText": "2025-10",
"suppliedPrecision": "month"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"P17\",\"2025-10\",\"month\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Date text and precision are not parsed or validated; no death record, event timing or mortality estimate is established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified original records and suitable complete research methods; involve qualified health, accessibility or legal professionals for actual care or rights decisions.
