What about days 365-729? Do they conventionally round all fractional years up? Patient Age seems like such a simple thing until you try to pin it down precisely. In veterinary medicine we have the added complication that birth dates are often not recorded with accuracy beyond the month or perhaps the year. Additionally, animals in many species are generally all born at more or less the same time of the year, which of course, varies by hemispere.
