For TIG Use cases....For TIG use cases, there are two streams that are not yet covered by the ADaM standard, however the individual health stream is very similar to the analyses done in drug development and the general ADaM structures will cover these types of datasets. however Product Health is not subject-based and therefore updates to the ADaM standard are needed to allow for identifiers in addition to the currently allowed USUBJID and SPEVID. For Population Health there is an analysis dataset section that addresses reference data which captures historic trends and results that are used as input for study analyses. there is a proposed stucture to cover these types of data.

ADaM specifications in this guide are instructions for implementing the ADaM to build analysis datasets for representation of collected or derived data. ADaM dataset specifications for the TIG are provided in:

  • Section x.x, Data Structures for Product Description
    • this section contains an ADaM example woth a class of ADAM OTHER that is not based on USUBJID like all other datasets in the current ADaM 
  • Section x.x, Data Structures for Individual Health
    • this section contains examples of ADSL, BDS, and OCCDS structures for some datasets to support typical safety analyses
  • Section x.x, Specifications for Population Health
    • this section contains the introduction of a REFERENCE data structure designed to capture historical results of various TIG components and several examples of historical data

Analysis Dataset Specifications list standard ADaM variables and define the required characteristics of standard variables (columns) that are frequently needed in ADaM datasets. The ADaM standard requires that these variable names be used when a variable that contains the content defined in the pre-defined ADaM variables sections is included in any ADaM dataset, regardless of dataset class. It also requires these ADaM standard variables be used for the purposes indicated, even if the content of an ADaM variable is a copy of the content of an SDTM dataset variable.
