      ​​Yes, you are correct. This is the way the stratifications are intended to work.

      We noticed that in eCQM 137v9 there is a difference in the way Age is determined between the IPP and the Stratification.
      The IPP looks at the 'start of the Measurement Period' and
      The Stratification 1 & 2 looks at the 'end of the Measurement Period'.

      IPP
      exists ["Patient Characteristic Birthdate": "Birth date"] BirthDate
        where Global."CalendarAgeInYearsAt" ( BirthDate.birthDatetime, start of "Measurement Period" ) >= 13
      and "First Dependence Diagnosis During Measurement Period" is not null

      Stratification 1
      exists ( ["Patient Characteristic Birthdate": "Birth date"] BirthDate
          where Global."CalendarAgeInYearsAt" ( BirthDate.birthDatetime,
          end of "Measurement Period" ) in Interval[13, 17])
       
      Stratification 2
      exists ( ["Patient Characteristic Birthdate": "Birth date"] BirthDate
          where Global."CalendarAgeInYearsAt" ( BirthDate.birthDatetime,
          end of "Measurement Period" ) >= 18

      Could you please confirm that this was the intent for this measure?
