ELECTIVE indicates whether the admission to the hospital was elective. This information was derived from the type of admission (ATYPE). If the admission type was missing or invalid, then ELECTIVE is also missing or invalid. If the admission type indicated an elective admission (ATYPE = 3), then ELECTIVE was set to 1. Otherwise, for any other valid non-missing ATYPE values, ELECTIVE was set to 0. |
