  • The concept of “conditional branching” in QRS instruments is when the instrument directs the subject to another item of the instrument based on the result of a response compare for a given condition. This concept was reviewed with the CDISC standards teams and it was agreed to use this term instead of “logically skipped item” moving forward for this QRS instrument use case. A new QRS variable named “QSCBRFL” with the description of “Conditional Branched Item Indicator” has been requested for release in SDTMIG v4.0. This new variable will streamline the data representation of conditional branched items.

    3 The QS Domain Model

    3.1 Assumptions for the QS Domain Model

    All assumptions and business rules described in the SDTMIG QS domain are applicable to this supplement. Additional assumptions specific to the Cthe C-SSRS BASELINE are listed below.

    The C-SSRS BASELINE is BASELINE is a suicidal ideation rating scale. It 's a is a standard questionnaire administered on a CRF that is typically used in clinical trials to identify subjects at risk for suicidal ideation and behavior. 

    1. The questionnaire is divided into 3 sections namely : Suicidal Ideation, Intensity of Ideation, and Suicidal Behavior.
      1. The first section, "SUICIDAL IDEATION"Suicidal Ideation, contains 5 items.
        1. QSTESTCD = "CSS0101" - "CSS0105" with QSORRES = "Yes" or "No" and QSSTRESC = "Y" or "N".
          1. If QSORRES = "Yes", then descriptions provided for QSTESTCD = "CSS0101A" - "CSS0105A" are represented in QSORRES and QSSTRESC. QSSTRESN is null for these items.
      2. The second section "INTENSITY OF IDEATION" , Intensity of Ideation, contains 6 items.
        1. QSTESTCD = "CSS0106" is rating the most severe ideation with responses represented with a numeric score (1-5) in QSORRES, QSSTRESC, and QSSTRESN.
          1. "Description of Ideation" (QSTESTCD = "CSS0106A") is collected as free text. For  For this section of the C-SSRS BASELINE, QSORRES and QSSTRESC are represented with the text description. QSSTRESN is null for this item.
        2. For QSTESTCD = "CSS0107" - "CSS0108", the the scale points include a numeric rating (1-5) and a definition of what is represented by the rating (e.g., 1 = "Less than once a week"). QSORRES is populated with the text description while ; the numeric rating is represented in the standardized character and numeric result variables QSSTRESC and QSSTRESN.    
        3. For QSTESTCD = "CSS0109" - "CSS0111", the the scale points include a numeric rating (0-5) and a definition of what is represented by the rating (e.g., 0 = "Does not attempt to control thoughts"). QSORRES is populated with the text description while ; the numeric rating is represented in the standardized character and numeric result variables QSSTRESC and QSSTRESN.
      3. The third section is "SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR".
        1. QSTESTCD = "CSS0112", "CSS0114", "CSS0115", "CSS0117", and "CSS0119" with QSORRES = "Yes" or "No" and QSSTRESC = "Y" or "N". QSSTRESN is null.
          1. If QSORRES = "Yes", then descriptions provided for QSTESTCD = "CSS0113A", "CSS0116A", "CSS0118A", and "CSS0119A" are represented in QSORRES and QSSTRESC. QSSTRESN is null for these items.
        2. For QSTESTCD = "CSS0120" QSORRES = "Yes" or "No" and QSSTRESC = "Y" or "N". QSSTRESN is null for these items.
        3. A "Total # of Attempts" (QSTESTCD = "CSS0113"), "Total # of interrupted" (QSTESTCD = "CSS0116") and "Total # of aborted" (QSTESTCD = "CSS0118") is represented in QSORRES, QSSTRESC, and QSSTRESN.
        4. The section "Answer for Actual Attempts Only" contains the following:
          1. "Most Recent Attempt Date" (CSS0121A), "Most Lethal Attempt Date" (QSTESTCD = "CSS0122A"), and "Initial/First Attempt Date" (CSS0123A) are represented in QSORRES and QSSTRESC and should be in ISO 8601 format.
          2. "Actual Lethality/Medical Damage" for "Most Recent Attempt", "Most Lethal Attempt" and "Initial/First Attempt" (QSTESTCD = "CSS0121B", "CSS0122B", and "CSS0123B") and "Potential Lethality" (QSTESTCD = "CSS0121C", "CSS0122C", and "CSS0123C") are represented with a numeric score (either "0-5" or "0-2", respectively) and descriptive text. For this section of the C-SSRS BASELINE, QSORRES is populated with the text description while the numeric rating is represented in the standardized character and numeric result variables QSSTRESC and QSSTRESN.
    2. The time period of evaluation for the C-SSRS BASELINE is populated in the QSEVINTX field as an evaluation interval text value, since it cannot be precisely described as an ISO 8601 duration. The evaluation interval for the C-SSRS BASELINE is "LIFETIME" (QSEVINTX = "LIFETIME").
    3. Items are divided into 3 subcategories represented in QSSCAT: "SUICIDAL IDEATION", "INTENSITY OF IDEATION" and "SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR".
    4. Some items on the C-SSRS BASELINE may be not done due to conditional branching. Items determined for conditional branching in the C-SSRS BASELINE are as follows:
      1. If QSTESTCD = "CSS0101" and "CSS0102" have QSORRES = "No", then the logic branches to QSTESTCD = "CSS0112" and QSTESTCD = "CSS0103" - "CSS010111" will not be done.
      2. If QSTESTCD = "CSS0101" has QSORRES ="Yes" and QSTESTCD = "CSS0102" has QSORRES = "No", then the logic branches to QSTESTCD = "CSS0106" and QSTESTCD = "CSS0103" - "CSS0105A" will not be done.
      3. Items QSTESTCD = "CSS0101A" - "CSS0105A" are only completed when the response to the preceding items (QSTESTCD = "CSS0101" - "CSS0105") is "Yes"; otherwise they are not done.
      4. If QSTESTCD = "CSS0112" has QSORRES = "No", then the logic branches to QSTESTCD = "CSS0114" and QSTESTCD = "CSS0113", "CSS0113A", "CSS0121A", "CSS0121B", "CSS0121C","CSS0122A", "CSS0122B", "CSS0122C", and"CSS0123A", "CSS0123B", "CSS0123C", will not be done.
      5. If QSTESTCD = "CSS0115" has QSORRES = "No", then the logic branches to QSTESTCD = "CSS0117" and QSTESTCD = "CSS0116" and "CSS0116A" will not be done.
      6. If QSTESTCD = "CSS0117" has QSORRES =  "No", then the logic branches to QSTESTCD = "CSS0119" and QSTESTCD = "CSS0118" and "CSS0118A" will not be done.
      7. If QSTESTCD = "CSS0119" has QSORRES =  "No", then the logic branches to QSTESTCD = "CSS0120" and QSTESTCD = "CSS0119A" will not be done.
      8. If QSTESTCD = "CSS0121B", "CSS0122B", and "CSS0123B" have QSSTRESC = "1", "2", "3", "4", or "5", then QSTESTCD ="CSS0121C", "CSS0122C", and "CSS0123C" will not be done.
    5. A record is created and a QS supplemental qualifier variable is used to indicate an item was conditionally branched. When an item is not done due to conditional branching, it is represented as follows:

      1. QNAM = “QSCBRFL”, QLABEL = “Conditional Branched Item Indicator “, QVAL = “Y”. (This is a QS supplemental qualifier variable.)      

      2. QSSTAT = "NOT DONE", and QSREASND is missing

      3. QSORRES, QSSTRESC and QSSTRESN are set to null (missing)
    6. Records are created in qs.xpt for every item on the sponsor's version of the instrument.
      1. For items not done due to conditional branching, refer to assumptions 4 and 5.
      2. In the unexpected situation where the reason is unknown, then QSORRES, QSSTRESC and QSSTRESN are all missing, QSSTAT = "NOT DONE", and QSREASND is missing.
    7. Some responses to the C-SSRS BASELINE items exceeded the 200-character limit for the QSORRES 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. 

    8. Terminology

      1. QSCAT, QSTESTCD, and QSTEST values are included in CDISC Controlled Terminology.

      2. A full list of value sets for the qualifier, timing, and result fields is provided in Section 4, SDTM Mapping Strategy.
