This section is used for reference regarding the CRF data capture and to understand the alignment of the instrument to the SDTM QS domain. It also provides guidance on how the result variables (QSORRES, QSSTRESC, and QSSTRESN) should be populated.

Info

Include mappings for all sets of result values. For ease of use of this template, the complete set of response values for the example in Section 3.2 is not included.

If the instrument has been entered into QRS Maker (all instruments should be), then the complete set of response values can be copied from QRS Maker and pasted into this supplement.

Some example mappings are below.

...

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 an 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 --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 --TESTCDTXXXTSTR for the variables RSSTRESN and RSSTTRESC.

...

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"

...

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/QSTEST.

Info
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. This approach used the CDISC QRS CT instrument's SYNONYM as part of the codelist name.

The controlled response terminology for the tests below is named SYNONYMSET1OR for the variable RSORRES and SYNONYMSET1STR for the variables RSSTRESN and RSSTTRESC.

...

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"

The controlled response terminology for the tests below is named MTWSR101T15OR for the variable QSORRES and MTWSR101T15STR for the variables QSSTRESN and QSSTRESC.

"All QSTESTCDs"

QSORRESQSSTRESCQSSTRESN
Original result 100
Original result 211
Original result 322

...

Omit the QSSTRESN column when it is not applicable to the dataset.

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

...

Info
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 --TESTCDTXXXOR for the variable RSORRES and --TESTCDTXXXTSTR for the variables RSSTRESN and RSSTTRESC.

...

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"

...

5 Supplemental Qualifier Name Codes

Info

The instrument used as an example in this template did not require supplemental qualifiers, but this section has been included to provide guidance on those instruments which do require supplemental qualifiers. (Many instruments do not require it.) Text that always will be in the section when it is included has been left black.

Additional rows will be required in the suppqs.xpt dataset for each supplemental qualifier needed.

Remove Section 5 if it does not apply to the new instrument.

The following table contains additional standard name codes for use in the Supplement Qualifiers for Questionnaires (SUPPQS) special purpose dataset.
