      Thank you for your question. The attribute "incision datetime" is used in this logic phrase because this is the only place where the timing operator must be relative to the incision date and time. The paper based measure specifications describe perioperative death as "the patient expired during the timeframe from surgical incision through discharge from the PACU/Recovery area."

      Denominator exclusion states
      AND: Patient Characteristic Expired: Expired" starts after start of "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: SCIP Major Surgical Procedure (incision datetime)''

      No validation is given for Procedure, Performed: SCIP Major Surgical Procedure (incision datetime) in the entire measure.

      Kindly suggest.
