FindingsREN/AN/A1STUDYIDStudy IdentifierA unique identifier for a study.What is the study identifier?[Protocol/Study]CharHRN/ASTUDYIDMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column .N/AN/A

Although this field is not typically captured on a CRF, it should be displayed clearly on the CRF and/or in the EDC system. This field can be included in the database or populated during tabulation dataset creation.

FindingsREN/AN/A2SITEIDStudy Site IdentifierA unique identifier for a site within a study.What is the site identifier?Site (Identifier)CharHRN/ADM.SITEID

Maps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.

N/AN/A

Paper: This is typically pre-printed in the header of each CRF page for single-site studies. For studies with multiple sites, this field may be left blank so that the number can be recorded by the site, or it may be pre-printed on the CRFs that are shipped to each site.

EDC: This should be pre-populated.

FindingsREN/AN/A3SUBJIDSubject Identifier for the StudyA unique subject identifier within a site and a study.What is the subject identifier?SubjectCharHRRecord the identifier for the subject.DM.SUBJID

Maps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.

N/AN/APaper: This is typically recorded in the header of each CRF page. EDC: The subject identifiers may be provided to the site using a pre-populated list in the system. This collection variable is typically collected in all domains. However, this collection variable is populated only in the tabulation DM domain.
FindingsREN/AN/A4VISITVisit NameThe name of an encounter that encompasses planned and unplanned trial interventions, procedures, and assessments that may be performed on a subject.What is the visit name?[Visit]CharR/CN/AVISITMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.N/AN/A

The name of the clinical encounter is typically pre-printed on the CRF or displayed in the EDC for any visit-based data collection, most often in Findings domains. This Visit text description is then available in any EDC data extract for that Findings domain.

FindingsREN/AN/A5VISDATVisit DateDate the encounter occurred (or started).What [is/was] the date of the visit?(Visit) DateCharR/CRecord the [date/start date] of the visit using this format (DD-MON-YYYY).N/AThis field is not an tabulation variable. The date of a measurement, test, observation can be determined from the date/time of visit (VISDAT/VISTIM) and then concatenating the VISDAT/VISTIM components and populating the tabulation variable VSDTC in ISO 8601 format.N/AN/AThe date the RE measurements were collected can be determined from the visit date variable (VISDAT) and applying that date to all of the observations at that visit, or the collection date can be included on the RE CRF using the Respiratory Assessments (REDAT) field.
FindingsREN/AN/A6REPERFRespiratory Assessment PerformedAn indication of whether a planned measurement, test, observation or specimen was performed/collected.Was a respiratory assessment performed?Respiratory Assessment PerformedCharHRIndicate whether or not a respiratory assessment was done.RESTATThis field does not map directly to an tabulation variable. May be used to populate a value into the tabulation variable RESTAT. If the collection variable REPERF="N", the value of the tabulation variable RESTAT is "NOT DONE". If REPERF= "Y", RESTAT is null. A combination of tabulation variables (e.g., RECAT and RESCAT, RETPT) is used to indicate that multiple tests were not done. In this situation, the tabulation variable RETESTCD would be populated with REALL and an appropriate test name (RETEST) provided.(NY)N/AThis field is used to capture a response to whether or not a planned measurement, test or observation was performed. A negative response can be collected as "N" and mapped to the -STAT variable in SDTM as " NOT DONE".
FindingsREN/AN/A7REDATRespiratory Assessment DateThe date the respiratory measurement was performed, represented in an unambiguous date format (e.g., DD-MON-YYYY).What was the date the respiratory measurement was taken?DateCharR/CRecord date of measurements using this format (DD-MON-YYYY).REDTCThis field does not map directly to an tabulation variable. For the tabulation dataset, concatenate all collected DATE and TIME components and populate the tabulation variable REDTC in ISO 8601 format.N/AN/AThe date the RE measurements were collected can be determined from the visit date variable (VISDAT) and applying that date to all of the observations at that visit, or the collection date can be included on the RE CRF using the Date of Collection (REDAT) field.
FindingsREN/AN/A8RETIMRespiratory Assessment TimeThe time of measurement, represented in an unambiguous time format (e.g., hh:mm:ss).What was the time of the respiratory system measurement?TimeChar
R/C
Record time of measurement (as complete as possible).REDTCThis field does not map directly to an tabulation variable. For the tabulation dataset, concatenate all collected DATE and TIME components and populate the tabulation variable REDTC in ISO 8601 format.N/AN/AA single collection time (e.g., RETIM) may be collected for all the measurements when they are performed at the same time. The time of each measurement can also be collected using a collection variable [RETESTCD]_RETIM.
FindingsREN/AN/A9RETPTRE Assessment Planned Time Point NameA text description of planned time points when measurements should be taken, as defined in the protocol.What is the planned time point for this respiratory assessment measurement?[Planned Time Point Name]CharR/CRecord the planned time-point labels for respiratory assessment, if not pre-printed on the CRF.RETPTMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column. The tabulation time-point anchors RETPTREF (text description) and RERFTDTC (date/time) may be needed, as well as tabulation variables RETPTNUM, REELTM.N/AN/APlanned time points are needed to differentiate multiple sequential assessments. It is recommended that time points should be pre-printed on the CRF rather than collected in a free-text field. If the form is laid out as a grid, then terms such as "Planned Time Point" can be included in the column heading.
FindingsREN/AN/A10RETESTRespiratory Test NameDescriptive name of the test or examination used to obtain the measurement or finding.What is the respiratory test name?[Respiratory Test Name]CharHRRecord the name of the respiratory test, if not pre-printed on the CRF.RETEST; RETESTCD

Maps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column. The tabulation variable RETESTCD may be determined from the value collected in RETEST using the Controlled Terminology List RETESTCD.

(RETEST)N/AThe test name will usually be pre-printed on the CRF, and not solicited as a question. If the form is laid out as a grid, then "Test" or "Test Name" can be included in the column heading. RETEST is most useful as the PROMPT on the field in which the RESULT for that test is collected.
FindingsREN/AN/A11RECATCategory for Respiratory TestA grouping of topic-variable values based on user-defined characteristics.What is the category of the respiratory test?[Respiratory Test Category]; NULLCharR/CRecord the respiratory assessment category, if not pre-printed on the CRF.RECATMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.N/AN/A
Applicant-defined controlled terminology. This would most commonly be a heading on the CRF or screen, not a question to which the site would provide an answer. RESCAT can only be used if there is a RECAT. If a question is asked, the response would typically be an applicant-defined codelist. If the form is laid out as a grid, then words such as "Category" can be included in the column heading.
FindingsREN/AN/A12RESCATSubcategory for Respiratory TestA sub-division of the RECAT values based on user-defined characteristics.What was the subcategory of the respiratory assessment?[Respiratory Assessment Subcategory]; NULLCharORecord the respiratory assessment subcategory, if not pre-printed on the CRF.RESCATMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.N/AN/AApplicant-defined controlled terminology. This would most commonly be either a heading or a pre-printed category value on the CRF, not a question to which the site would provide an answer. If a question is asked, the response would typically be an applicant-defined codelist. If the form is laid out as a grid, then words such as "Subcategory" can be included in the column heading. RESCAT can only be used if there is a RECAT, and it must be a subcategorization of RECAT.
FindingsREN/AN/A13REORRESRE Test Result in Original UnitsResult of the measurement or finding as originally received or collected.What was the result of the measurement?[RETEST] ResultCharHRRecord the respiratory test result.REORRESMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.N/AN/ABoth quantitative results and interpretive findings or summaries may be recorded here.
FindingsREN/AN/A14REORRESURespiratory Test Original UnitThe unit of the result as originally received or collected.What was the unit of the result?UnitCharR/CRecord or select the original unit in which these data were collected, if not pre-printed on CRF.REORRESUMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.(UNIT)N/AShould be pre-printed on the CRF with the associated test when possible, rather than collected in a free-text field. Should be included if applicable and not available elsewhere.
FindingsREN/AN/A15RERESRespiratory Test Result or Finding

The result of the measurement or finding as originally received or collected.

Was the result (normal/abnormal/absent/present/ [applicant defined response])?(Result)CharOIndicate the overall assessment for [RETEST].REORRES

This does not map directly to an tabulation variable. The mapping instructions depend on the implementation; for example:

  1. RERES is used to collect Normal, Abnormal or similar type classifications (e.g., Absent/Present) with a description of the abnormal result using the collection field REDESC. For tabulation datasets, If the collection field RERES = "NORMAL", populate the tabulation variables REORRES and RESTRESC with the value of the collection field RERES. If the collection field RERES is "ABNORMAL", populate the tabulation variable REORRES with the collection field REDESC. If the reported findings in REDESC are coded using a dictionary, then the tabulation variable RESTRESC is populated with the dictionary preferred term and REMODIFY is populated with the modified text used for coding. If the reported findings in REDESC are not coded, then the tabulation variable RESTRESC is populated with the collection REDESC field. The tabulation variable RENRIND may be populated with "NORMAL" or "ABNORMAL" if appropriate.
  2. Where RERES is used to collect standardized values (e.g. a codelist) on the CRF and the value of "OTHER" is included, the collection field RERESOTH can be used to collect free-text values for "Specify Other". When using this field, the "OTHER" value recorded in the collect field RERES field is mapped to the tabulation variable RESTRESC and the value in the collection field RERESOTH is mapped to the tabulation variable REORRES.
N/AN/A
The collection field RERES is used when the collected results are not mapped directly to the tabulation variable REORRES and must be transformed. For example,
  1. RERES is used to collect standardized values on the CRF and the value of "OTHER" is included and "Specify Other" is collected.
  2. REORES is collected using Normal, Abnormal and a description of the abnormality is collected.
FindingsREN/AN/A16REDESCDescription of Respiratory Test FindingText description of respiratory test findings.What was the description of the (abnormality/observed finding/[Applicant-defined])?(Abnormal) FindingsCharORecord all abnormal findings for the respiratory test in the space provided.REORRESThis does not map directly to an tabulation variable. May be used to populate a value into the tabulation variable REORRES. If RERES="Normal", populate REORRES with the value of RERES. If RERES="Abnormal", populate REORRES with the value of REDESC.N/AN/ARERES and REDESC are used when a question is asked to collect the finding result, with a follow-up question for a description of the finding.
FindingsREN/AN/A17RERESOTHRespiratory Test Result OtherA free-text result which provides further information about the original received or collected result.If other is selected, [explain/specify/provide more detail].[Specify Other/Explain/Specify Details]CharOProvide more detail for the "Other" result.REORRESWhen using this collection field, the "OTHER" value collected in the collection field RERES is mapped to the tabulation variable RESTRESC and the value in the collection field RERESOTH is mapped to the tabulation variable REORRES.N/AN/AIn cases where RERES is used to collect standardized values on the CRF and the value of "OTHER" is included, the collection field RERESOTH can be used to collect free-text values for "Specify Other".
FindingsREN/AN/A18REORNRLORE Ref Range Lower Limit- Original UnitThe lower end of normal range or reference range for continuous results stored in REORRES.What was the lower limit of the reference range?Normal Range Lower LimitCharORecord the lower limit of the reference range of the respiratory test.REORNRLOMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.N/AN/AREORNRLO should be populated only for continuous findings. The tabulation variable RESTNRC should be populated only for noncontinuous results. These data may be obtained from the lab or the electronic equipment. These data could be derived from a site or lab specific set of normal ranges stored in a look-up table.
FindingsREN/AN/A19REORNRHIRE Ref Range Upper Limit- Original UnitThe upper end of normal range or reference range for continuous results stored in REORRES.What was the upper limit of the reference range?Normal Range Upper LimitCharORecord the upper limit of the reference range of the respiratory test.REORNRHIMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.N/AN/AREORNRHI should be populated only for continuous findings. The tabulation variable RESTNRC should be populated only for noncontinuous results. These data may be obtained from the lab or the electronic equipment. These data could be derived from a site or lab specific set of normal ranges stored in a look-up table.
FindingsREN/AN/A20RENRINDRE Reference Range IndicatorAn indication or description about how the value compares to the normal range or reference range.How do the reported values compare within the [reference/normal/expected] range?Comparison to [Reference/Expected/Normal] RangeCharORecord where the test result fell with respect to the reference range.RENRINDMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.(NRIND)N/AReference ranges may be defined by REORNRLO, REORNRHI, RESTNRC or other objective criteria. Reference Range Indicator (e.g., Y, N; HIGH, LOW; NORMAL, ABNORMAL) may be included if not derived or determined programmatically after data collection. Should not be used to indicate clinical significance.
FindingsREN/AN/A21RESTATCompletion StatusThis variable is used to indicate that data are not available, by having the site recording the value as "Not Done".Indicate if the [RETEST] was not [answered/assessed/done/evaluated/performed].Not DoneCharOIndicate if the respiratory assessment or measurement was not done.RESTATMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.(ND)N/AUsed only when the response value is collected as NOT DONE or NULL in lieu of or in addition to the collection REPERF field. Typically a checkbox which indicates the test was NOT DONE. This field can be useful when multiple questions are asked to confirm that a blank result field is meant to be blank.
FindingsREN/AN/A22REREASNDReason Not DoneAn explanation for why the data are not available.Was the was the reason that the respiratory (assessment/[RETEST]) was not [collected / answered / done / assessed / evaluated]?Reason Not [Answered/Collected/Done/Evaluated/Assessed/Available]CharOProvide the reason the measurement or test was not done.REREASNDMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.N/AN/AApplicant-defined controlled terminology may be used. The reason the data are not available may be chosen from an applicant-defined codelist (e.g., broken equipment, subject refused) or entered as free text. When REREASND is used, RESTAT should also be populated in the SDTM-based dataset.
FindingsREN/AN/A23REPOSPosition of Subject During ObservationThe position of the subject during a measurement or examination.What was the position of the subject during the assessment?PositionCharORecord the position of subject at time of test.REPOSMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.(POSITION)N/AResults may be affected by whether conditions for respiratory test, as specified in the protocol, were properly met. One common condition is the subject's position. If the protocol requires this type of information, then a collection variable [RETESTCD]_REPOS may be created for each RETESTCD and added to the CRF, if needed.
