Summary of Changes

2020-07-0809

2.0

  • This measure was re-evaluated to fit the definition of a clinical classification measure. The domain was changed from the QS to RS domain.
  • The RSEVAL assumption and variable was removed from this supplement, since it is not captured on the CRF and no assumptions are made on the potential values.
  • The example replaced the RSBLFL variable with RSLOBXFL.
  • Updated assumption 4 on the handling of results for RSTESTCD = "KFSS108" and "KFSS108A" and update the example accordingly.
  • Update the example description for clarity and included the representation that at visit 2, the instrument was not conducted.

1.1

Kurtzke Functional Systems Scores (KFSS) Revised

  • Added “Other Functions” category to the CRF, resulting in two additional QSTESTCDs (KFSS108 and KFSS108A).
  • Added Assumption 4 specifying how to record responses to KFSS108A.
  • Modified wording of answer choices on CRF to match wording in reference article.
  • Modified Assumptions 1 and 3 to reflect the updated CRF.

  1. For each functional system of the KFSS, the scale points include a numeric rating and a definition of what is represented by the rating (e.g., 0 = “Normal”) with the exception of the “Unknown” option, which does not have a numeric rating. For the KFSS, for functional systems with a numeric rating, RSORRES is populated with the text description while the numeric rating is represented in the standardized character and numeric result variables RSSTRESC and RSSTRESN. Otherwise, RSSTRESC is populated with the rating description and RSSTRESN is left blank.
  2. Some responses to the KFSS items exceeded the 200-character limit for the RSORRES variable and needed to be reduced to fewer than 200 characters. Section 4, SDTM Mapping Strategy, indicates which item responses were revised in order to fit the 200-character limit. For item KFSS104, one of the rating responses is longer than the 200 character limit.

  3. Items KFSS102A and KFSS106A have the instruction “check here” when the subject has the specified condition (e.g., weakness, temporal pallor). RSORRES and RSSTRESC = “CHECKED” or “NOT CHECKED”. RSSTRESN is always left blank.

  4. Terminology:
    1. RSCAT, RSTESTCD and RSTEST are approved CDISC controlled terminology.
    2. A full list of value sets for result fields is provided in Section 4: SDTM Mapping Strategy.

3.2 Example for the Kurtzke Functional System Scores (KFSS) Domain Model

The KFSS example below shows the terminology used to implement the instrument in the RS domain. This example shows the data for 1 subject collected at the baseline visit for the KFSS instrument. The example uses CDISC Controlled Terminology for RSTESTCD, RSTEST, and RSCAT. All original results are represented with preferred terminology in RSORRES. This result is then transformed into the standard numeric score in RSSTRESN and a character representation of the standard numeric score in RSSTRESC. Character only responses, such as "Unknown" are represented in RSORRES and RSSTRESC.

 The table represents the items from the KFSS form. The subject did not experience weakness that interfered with the testing, but did have temporal pallor. The subject had unknown brain stem functions. A record for RSTESTCD=KFSS108A is represented with RSSTAT = "NOT DONE" since for RSTESTCD = KFSS108 the RSORRES = “None”. 

  1. When RSTESTCD = "KFSS108"  is not answered, the result is considered a not done record with RSORRES/RSSTRESC/RSSTRESN represented as missing values and RSSTAT = "NOT DONE”. Item RSTESTCD = "KFSS108A" will only be answered if RSTESTCD = "KFSS108" has a QSORRES = “Any other neurologic findings attributed to MS (specify)”, otherwise it will be considered a not done record with RSORRES/RSSTRESC/RSSTRESN represented as missing values and RSSTAT = "NOT DONE”.  

  2. Terminology:
    1. RSCAT, RSTESTCD, and RSTEST are approved CDISC controlled terminology.
    2. A full list of value sets for result fields is provided in Section 4: SDTM Mapping Strategy.

3.2 Example for the Kurtzke Functional System Scores (KFSS) Domain Model

The KFSS example below shows the terminology used to implement the instrument in the RS domain. This example shows the data for 1 subject collected at the baseline visit and a visit 2 represented as not being collected for the KFSS instrument. The example uses CDISC Controlled Terminology for RSTESTCD, RSTEST, and RSCAT. All original results are represented with preferred terminology in RSORRES. This result is then transformed into the standard numeric score in RSSTRESN and a character representation of the standard numeric score in RSSTRESC. Character only responses, such as "Unknown" are represented in RSORRES and RSSTRESC.

 The table represents the items from the KFSS form. The subject did not experience weakness that interfered with the testing (RSTESTCD = "KFSS102A"), but did have temporal pallor (RSTESTCD = "KFSS106A"). The subject had unknown Cerebral or Mental Functions (RSTESTCD = "KFSS107"). Since there were no other functions, RSTESTCD = "KFSS108" is represented with the response RSORRES = “None”. The record for RSTESTCD="KFSS108A" is represented with RSORRES/RSSTRESC/RSSTRESN as missing values and RSSTAT = "NOT DONE". The instrument was not done at visit 2.
