Tabulation time point anchors EGTPTREF (text description) and EGRFTDTC (date/time) may be needed, as well as tabulation variables EGTPTNUM, EGELTM.N/AN/APlanned time points are needed to differentiate multiple sequential assessments. It is recommended that time points should be on the CRF rather than collected in a free-text field. If the form is laid out as a grid, then words such as "Planned Time Point" can be included as the column heading.

For the tabulation dataset, concatenate all collected DATE and TIME components and populate the tabulation variable EGDTC in ISO 8601 format.N/AN/AMay be required when multiple assessments are done on 1 day or when the timing in relationship to study product is required for analysis.

May be pre-printed or collected. Applicants may collect the data using a subset list of controlled terminology on the CRF.

For the tabulation dataset, the recorded interpretation is populated into the tabulation variable EGORRES where EGTEST= "Interpretation", and EGTESTCD="INTP".N/AN/AThe overall interpretation of an ECG is mapped into the appropriate tabaulation test and result variables.

This information could be represented in a SUPPEG dataset as the value of SUPPEG.QVAL where SUPPEG.QNAM = "EGCLSIG" and SUPPEG.QLABEL="Clinically Significant".(NY)N/ACould apply to specific measurements or to overall interpretation. In this scenario, clinical significance could be provided by the investigator.

For the tabulation datasets, may be used to create RELREC to link this record with a record in the MH domain.N/AN/AIntent is to establish a link between the clinically significant ECG finding and the medical history event that was reported. EGMHNO can be used in RELREC to identify a relationship between records in EG dataset and records in the MH dataset.
