Vital Signs (VS) is a Findings domain used to represent vital signs measurements, including (but not limited) to blood pressure, temperature, respiration, body surface area, BMI, height, and weight.
Example
This is an example of a CRF used to collect vital signs.

This is an example of the SDTM VS domain.
Rows 1-4, 6-7:
VSTPT and VSTPTNUM are populated because more than 1 measurement was taken at this visit.
Rows 2, 4-5, 7-9:
VSLOBXFL="Y" indicates that the observation was used as the last observation before exposure measurement.
Rows 10-11:
Show blood pressure observations obtained at visit 2.
Row 12:
Shows a value collected in one unit, but converted to selected standard unit.
Row 13:
Shows the proper use of the --STAT variable to indicate "NOT DONE" where a reason was collected when a test was not done.
