SDTM Day 2: QS
Background:
As the novice treatments for Cancer therapy have been developed, not only we care about prolonging the lives of patients, scientists also put their endeavor to improve the life qualities. SDTM.QS is designed for capturing the patients’ questions info.
Definition:
QS domain is a questionaries domain that contains a variety of patient information about different questionnaires. Such as Quality of Life, Mental Health, Disease Activity.
Popular Questionnaires:
EOL5: quality of life 5 questions
SF12: Fatigue Severity Scale 12 questions
MPN-SAF: Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment
SDTM.QS Domain:
Key variables For SDTM.QS:
USUBJID, QSCAT, QSTEST, QSTESTCD, QSDTC, QSORRES, QSBLFL, QSDY
Usubjid: Identify the patient info
E.g. TF-001-001, TF-001-002,..
Qscat: Category of Questions
E.g. EURO QOL-5 DIMENSIONS, MF-SAF FATIGUE
Qstestcd: Question Code, Qstestcd ∈ Qscat
E.g. EQ5D01, EQ5D02,..
Qstest: Question Name
E.g. Mobility, Self care, Usual activities, Pain discomfort, Anxiety depression
Qsstresn: Numerical score for questions
E.g. 1,2,3,4,5
Qsdtc: Questionnaire date
E.g. 2012-04-29
Qsorres: Original Score for questions
E.g. 1,2,3,4,5
Visit: Visit name
E.g. Screening, Cycle1 Day 1, End of Treatment, Follow Up…
Qsblfl: Baseline Flage
E.g. Y, N
Logic: Last non-missing assessment Before or ON treatment start day
Qsdy: Study Day of Finding
E.g. -3,1,100
Logic: Qsdtc – Treatment Start Day +1
Sample SDTM.QS Dataset:
Note: the sample QS dataset Qsstresn is created with SAS rand function, and QSDTC is a dummy date.
Potential Challenges:
When we move from SDTM.QS to ADaM.ADQS, the biggest challenge is constructing the variable AVAL for analysis value. Some questionnaires scores need to meet Consecutive 5 out of 7 days in order for the score to be documented. We will demonstrate how to compose a Marco to Count Consecutive Records in the future.
Happy Studying! 😸
