1 Introduction

This document describes the CDISC implementation of the Mini-Mental State Examination 2 Standard Version (MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION) instrument.

CDISC did not modify this QRS instrument to meet Clinical Data Acquisition Standards Harmonization (CDASH) case report form (CRF) standards. The PAR provided CRF has updated the item names represented on the CRF that were described in the original reference.

The representation of data collected for this instrument is based on the Study Data Tabulation Model Implementation Guide (SDTMIG) Functional Tests (FT) domain model, which can be found at the CDISC website at: https://www.cdisc.org/standards/foundational/sdtmig.

3 The FT Domain Model

3.1 Assumptions for FT Domain Model

All assumptions and business rules described in the SDTMIG FT domain are applicable to this supplement. Additional assumptions specific to the MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION are listed below.

MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION is widely used to assess cognitive impairment and its progression over time. It includes 30 tasks that are scored as a 1 for correct answers and 0 for incorrect answers. There is a  brief version total raw score (0-16)Adapted and reproduced by special permission of the Publisher, Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc.

3 The FT Domain Model

3.1 Assumptions for FT Domain Model

All assumptions and business rules described in the SDTMIG FT domain are applicable to this supplement. Additional assumptions specific to the MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION are listed below.

1.  The original scores   The scale points include a numeric rating (0-1) and a description of what is represented by the rating (e.g., 0 = "INCORRECT", 1 = "CORRECT")INCORRECT", 1 = "CORRECT"). For the Serial 7s and WORLD questions, the numeric rating is 0-5, and subscore for either one of the two sets of questions used is represented by FTTESTCD = "MMS204". For the MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION, FTORRES is populated with the text description of "INCORRECT" or "CORRECT". The numeric rating is represented in FTSTRESC and FTSTRESN. The actual result answers to each question are not represented in the dataset; only whether the answer is "CORRECT" or "INCORRECT" is represented.
   the answer is "CORRECT" or "INCORRECT" is represented
   

2. Items are divided into 11 subcategories represented in FTSCAT: "ORIENTATION TO TIME", "ORIENTATION TO PLACE", "REGISTRATION", "ATTENTION AND CALCULATION", "RECALL", "NAMING", "REPETITION", "COMPREHENSION", "READING", "WRITING", and "DRAWING".

3. Records are created in qs.xpt for every collected item on the instrument: 

   1. For items with no data, QSORRES, QSSTRESC, and QSSTRESN are all missing and QSSTAT = "NOT DONE". If the reason is known then that reason is represented in QSREASND (e.g., QSREASND = "PREFER NOT TO ANSWER"). If the reason is unknown, then QSSTAT = "NOT DONE" and QSREASND is missing.

   2. Due to the variability of copyright holder and public domain derived subscore and overall score generation processes, records are not included for derived subscores or overall scores that are not provided.

4. The MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION instrument includes a brief version total raw score of the 1st 16 items and a standard version total raw score

   1. Subscore and overall scores are represented in--ORRES, --STRESC, and --STRESN.

   2. If subscores and overall

   The MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION instrument includes a brief version total score and a standard version total score that are considered as captured data on the CRF and are not considered as derived in the example below. These scores may be submitted in SDTM or derived in the Analysis Data Model (ADaM) per scoring instructions from the CRF.

   1. If operationally defined by the sponsor, it is the sponsor's responsibility to set the --DRVFL flag based on their eCRF process to derive subtotal and total scores. An investigator derived score will be considered a captured score and not flagged. When subtotal and total scores are derived by the sponsor, the derived flag (--DRVFL) is set to "Y". However, when the subtotal and total scores are received from a central provider or vendor, the value would go into --ORRES and --DRVFL would be null (See SDTMIG Section 4.1.8.1, Origin Metadata for Variables).

   2. If scores are received by the sponsor, it is recommended that they are submitted to SDTM and SDTM and verified in ADaM whenever feasible. It is the sponsors repsonsibility to do this verification based on the instrument's user manual or instructions from the copyright owner.

5. Terminology:
   

   1. FTCAT, FTTESTCD, and FTTEST values are included in CDISC controlled terminology.

   2. A full list of value sets for result field is provided in Section 4, SDTM Mapping Strategy.

3.2 Example for the MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION FT Domain Model

The MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION example below shows the terminology used to implement the instrument in the FT domain. This example shows the data for 2 subjects collected at the baseline visit for a MMSE-2 STANDARD VERSION instrument. The example uses CDISC controlled terminology for FTTESTCD, FTTEST, and FTCAT.  All original results, matching the CRF item response text, are represented inFTORRES. This result is then represented as a standard numeric score inFTSTRESN and as a standard character representation inFTSTRESC.

4 SDTM Mapping Strategy

This section is used for reference regarding the CRF data capture and to understand the alignment of the instrument to the SDTM FT domain. It also provides guidance on how the subcategories (FTSCAT) and result variables (FTORRES, FTSTRESC, and FTSTRESN) should be populated.
