This example shows a more complex DS dataset, and illustrates how to handle different days that subjects were disposed. The sponsor has included the label under which the deaths were grouped in the study report.
Rows 1-3:
The date values are entered in ISO 8601 format and include the time of disposition. DSNOMDY is the same for all 3 records; however, DSNOMLBL is different for row 1, which indicates the records would not be grouped together.
Row 1:
The original value of "Animal escaped/Found dead" was recorded in the DSTERM column and mapped to the controlled term "ACCIDENTAL DEATH" in the DSDECOD column. The DSUSCHFL is "Y" because this is an unscheduled disposition.
Rows 2-3:
The original value of "Final Phase Sacrifice" was recorded in the DSTERM column and mapped to the controlled term "TERMINAL SACRIFICE" in the DSDECOD column.
