Need to describe ADaM naming convention:
- Prefix RF
- With 6 characters to make dataset meaningful
- Example for birthrate
- RFBR (Reference Input Parameters for Birthrate)
We need standard names for all example datasets with conventions for new dataset names not shown in this guide (per current approach)
Make sure to include in Fundamentals section with related guidance:
...
Proposed standard structure designed to capture reference data that is not captured in SDTM and may be used as input into SDTM or ADaM creation.
| Variable | Label | Core | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
STRTMy | Stratum y | Req | Indicates stratification factors used when calculating the value of the input parameter. |
STRMVALy | Stratum y Value | Req | Identifies the stratum with which the input parameter is associated. |
INPRM | Input Parameter | Perm | Indicate the calculated input parameter for the stratum or strata. |
INPRMVAL | Input Parameter Value | Req | This is the value of the input parameter. |
INPRMU | Input Parameter Unit | Perm | Unit associated with the input parameter value. |
Reference data is typically provided in spreadsheet format where each cell of reference data is defined by row identifiers and column identifiers. When capturing the data in standardized format the decision has been made that recreating the original reference data in the original format is not a desired function and therefore whether the identifier is from a row versus a column is not of importance. These identifiers are captured as STRATUM (STRTMy). In addition a description of the content of the cell is captured as a topic (INPRM), the actual value in the cell (INPRMVAL) and a description of the unit if relevant (INPRMU) are defined in the dataset metadata.
