      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 timing of the antibiotic given in this measure is measured by the number of minutes before the first incision date and time during the surgical episode.

      Numerator states:

      OR: "Medication, Administered: IV quinolones (route: 'Hospital measures-Route IV')" <= 120 minute(s) starts before start of "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: General or Neuraxial Anesthesia (incision datetime)''

      There is no validation given for Procedure, Performed: General or Neuraxial Anesthesia (incision datetime) in the measure.

      Kindly suggest
