2.0 Draft

This measure was re-evaluated to fit the definition of a clinical classification measure. The domain was changed from the QS to RS domain.
The EDSS v2.0 supplement was updated to the wiki Clinical Classifications supplement template.
The RSEVAL assumption was removed from this supplement, because it is not captured on the CRF and no assumptions are made on the potential values to include in the example.

The example was reduced from 20 to 16 subjects. The original VISITNUM = 2 was revised to 1 and the RSLOBXFL variable was added to represent a baseline response.
The example was updated by adding USUBJID = "P0016" to represent how a missing visit is handled when the instrument was not filled out.

1.1 Representations and Warranties, Limitations of Liability, and Disclaimers

This document is a supplement to the SDTMIG for Human Clinical Trials and is covered under Appendix F of that document, which describes representations, warranties, limitations of liability, and disclaimers. Please see Appendix F of the SDTMIG for a complete version of this material.

2 Copyright Status

CDISC believes this instrument to be in the public domain, but you should perform your own assessment. CDISC has included the EDSS in the CDISC library of QRS data standards supplements. Hence, CDISC developed RSTESTCD and RSTEST for each item based on the actual text on the instrument. There may be many versions of this instrument in the public domain or copyrighted. CDISC has chosen to use this version as the data standard.

3 The RS Domain Model

3.1 Assumptions for the RS Domain Model

All assumptions and business rules described in the SDTMIG RS domain are applicable to this supplement. Additional assumptions specific to the EDSS are listed below.

The EDSS is an ordinal clinical rating scale that is used to measure the disability status of subjects. The item response is a range from 0 to 10 in half-point increments that measures the disability status. The Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and Kurtzke Functional Systems Scores (KFSS) instruments are intended to be used in conjunction with one another. The KFSS should first be administered by the evaluator and results from this assessment are then applied to determine an EDSS scale score (Kurtzke, 1983). A change in the EDSS should only occur if there has been a change of one or more in the Functional System (FS) scores. Please review the published Kurtzke Functional Systems Scores (KFSS) for details on the functional system scores.

The Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and Kurtzke Functional Systems Scores (KFSS) instruments are intended to be used in conjunction with one another. The KFSS should first be administered by the evaluator; results from this assessment are then applied to determine an EDSS scale score (Kurtzke, 1983). A change in the EDSS should only occur if there has been a change of 1 or more Functional System (FS). Please review the published Kurtzke Functional Systems Scores (KFSS) for details.

."). For the EDSS, RSORRES is populated with the text description while the numeric rating is represented in the standardized character and numeric result variables RSSTRESC and RSSTRESN.
Three responses to the EDSS ratings exceeded the 200-character limit for the RSORRES 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.
Terminology
1. RSCAT, RSTESTCD, and RSTEST values are included in CDISC Controlled Terminology.
2. A full list of value sets for the result fields is provided in Section 4, SDTM Mapping Strategy.

3.2 Example for the EDSS RS Domain Model

The EDSS example below shows the terminology used to implement the instrument in the RS domain. This example shows the data for 1 subject collected at the baseline and visit 2

for the EDSS instrument. The example uses CDISC Controlled Terminology for RSTESTCD, RSTEST, and RSCAT. All original results, matching the CRF item response text, are represented in QSORRES.This result is then represented as a standard numeric score in QSSTRESN and as a standard character representation in QSSTRESC.
