Info

For QRS instruments with subcategories:

When subcategories are used on an instrument, a table with the following introduction information should appear before the mappings for results.

QSSCAT alignment with QSTESTCD

As stated in Section 3.1 assumptions, items on the QRS Short_Name are grouped into subcategories. The table below includes the subcategory names along with the applicable item numbers for each category. The values of the subcategories are used to populate QSSCAT and are annotated on the CRF.

titleFor public domain instrument's published QRS responses
  • If this is a public domain instrument that has in individual item with published QRS responses, include the following sentence above the—TESTCDs listed with their responses.

    • The controlled response terminology for the tests below is named --TESTCDOR for the variable RSORRES and --

--T1OR
    • TESTCDSTR for the variables RSSTRESN and RSSTTRESC.

  • If this is a public domain instrument with published QRS responses, include the following sentence above the—TESTCDs listed with their responses.
    • The controlled response terminology for the tests below is named --TESTCDTXXXOR for the variable RSORRES and --
----TSTR
    • TESTCDTXXXTSTR for the variables RSSTRESN and RSSTTRESC.
Info

If all items have the same original result values, with the same standardized character and numeric values, then only include one table showing the values of QSORRES/QSSTRESC/QSSTRESN and put "All QSTESTCDs" (title case "All", and in quotes) above the table:

"All QSTESTCDs"

QSORRESQSSTRESCQSSTRESN
Original result 100
Original result 211
Original result 322

Similarly, if some, but not all, QSTESTCDs share the same original result and standardized values, then the QSTESTCD and corresponding QSTEST values are put in a list above the table rather than providing a separate table for each QSTESTCD/QSTESTeach QSTESTCD/QSTEST.

titleFor public domain instrument's published QRS responses

If this is a public domain instrument with published QRS responses, include the following sentence above the—TESTCDs listed with their responses.

The controlled response terminology for the tests below is named ------SET1OR for the variable RSORRES and ------SET1STR for the variables RSSTRESN and RSSTTRESC.

Info

If there are responses that correspond to non-consecutive items or 1-7 consecutive items, include the test codes and test names above the table with the responses as follows:

QSTESTCD = "test code 1" QSTEST = "test name 1"


QSTESTCD = "test code 4" QSTEST = "test name 4"


QSTESTCD = "test code 5" QSTEST = "test name 5"

QSTESTCD = "test code 6" QSTEST = "test name 6"

QSTESTCD = "test code 7" QSTEST = "test name 7"

QSTESTCD = "test code 8" QSTEST = "test name 8"

QSTESTCD = "test code 15" QSTEST = "test name 15"

QSTESTCD = "test code 22" QSTEST = "test name 22"


QSTESTCD = "test code 27" QSTEST = "test name 27"


QSTESTCD = "test code 29" QSTEST = "test name 29"

titleFor public domain instrument's published QRS responses

If this is a public domain instrument with published QRS responses, include the following sentence above the—TESTCDs listed with their responses.

The controlled response terminology for the tests below is named ------T1OR for the variable RSORRES and ------TSTR for the variables RSSTRESN and RSSTTRESC.

Info

For responses that are for 8 or more consecutive items, an override label should be used in QRS Maker to show the items that are included as follows:

QSTESTCD = "first test code in sequence" QSTEST = "first test name in sequence" through

QSTESTCD = "last test code in sequence" QSTEST = "last test name in sequence"
