Variable NameVariable LabelTypeControlled Terms, Codelist or Format1RoleCDISC NotesCore
STUDYIDStudy IdentifierChar
IdentifierUnique identifier for a study.Req
DOMAINDomain AbbreviationCharFAIdentifierTwo-character abbreviation for the domain.Req
USUBJIDUnique Subject IdentifierChar
IdentifierIdentifier used to uniquely identify a subject across all studies for all applications or submissions involving the product.Req
FASEQSequence NumberNum
IdentifierSequence number given to ensure uniqueness of subject records within a domain. May be any valid number.Req
FAGRPIDGroup IDChar
IdentifierUsed to tie together a block of related records in a single domain for a subject.Perm
FASPIDSponsor-Defined IdentifierChar
IdentifierSponsor-defined reference number. May be preprinted on the CRF as an explicit line identifier or defined in the sponsor's operational database. Example: Line number on a CRF.Perm
FATESTCDFindings About Test Short NameChar(FATESTCD)TopicShort name of the measurement, test, or examination described in FATEST. It can be used as a column name when converting a dataset from a vertical to a horizontal format. The value in FATESTCD cannot be longer than 8 characters, nor can it start with a number (e.g., "1TEST" is not valid). FATESTCD cannot contain characters other than letters, numbers, or underscores. Examples: "SEV", "OCCUR". Note that controlled terminology is in a FATESTCD general codelist and in several therapeutic area-specific codelists.Req
FATESTFindings About Test NameChar(FATEST)Synonym QualifierVerbatim name of the test or examination used to obtain the measurement or finding. The value in FATEST cannot be longer than 40 characters. Examples: "Severity/Intensity", "Occurrence". Note that controlled terminology is in a FATEST general codelist and in several therapeutic area-specific codelists.Req
FAOBJObject of the ObservationChar
Record QualifierUsed to describe the object or focal point of the findings observation that is represented by --TEST. Examples: the term (e.g., "Acne") describing a clinical sign or symptom that is being measured by a severity test; an event (e.g., "VOMIT, where the volume of vomit is being measured by a VOLUME test).Req
FACATCategory for Findings AboutChar*Grouping QualifierUsed to define a category of related records. Examples: "GERD", "PRE-SPECIFIED AE".Perm
FASCATSubcategory for Findings AboutChar*Grouping QualifierA further categorization of FACAT.Perm
FAORRESResult or Finding in Original UnitsChar
Result QualifierResult of the test as originally received or collected.Exp
FAORRESUOriginal UnitsChar(UNIT)Variable QualifierOriginal units in which the data were collected. The unit for FAORRES.Perm
FASTRESCCharacter Result/Finding in Std FormatChar
Result QualifierContains the result value for all findings, copied or derived from FAORRES in a standard format or standard units. FASTRESC should store all results or findings in character format; if results are numeric, they should also be stored in numeric format in FASTRESN. For example, if a test has results "NONE", "NEG", and "NEGATIVE" in FAORRES, and these results effectively have the same meaning; they could be represented in standard format in FASTRESC as "NEGATIVE".Exp
FASTRESNNumeric Result/Finding in Standard UnitsNum
Result QualifierUsed for continuous or numeric results or findings in standard format; copied in numeric format from FASTRESC. FASTRESN should store all numeric test results or findings.Perm
FASTRESUStandard UnitsChar(UNIT)Variable QualifierStandardized unit used for FASTRESC and FASTRESN.Perm
FASTATCompletion StatusChar(ND)Record QualifierUsed to indicate that the measurement was not done. Should be null if a result exists in FAORRES.Perm
FAREASNDReason Not PerformedChar
Record QualifierDescribes why a question was not answered. Example: "Subject refused". Used in conjunction with FASTAT when value is "NOT DONE".Perm
FALOCLocation of the Finding AboutChar(LOC)Record QualifierUsed to specify the location of the clinical evaluation. Example: "ARM".Perm
FALATLateralityChar(LAT)Variable QualifierQualifier for anatomical location or specimen further detailing laterality. Examples: "RIGHT", "LEFT", "BILATERAL".Perm
FALOBXFLLast Observation Before Exposure FlagChar(NY)Record QualifierOperationally-derived indicator used to identify the last non-missing value prior to RFXSTDTC. The value should be "Y" or null.Perm
FABLFLBaseline FlagChar(NY)Record QualifierIndicator used to identify a baseline value. The value should be "Y" or null. Note that FABLFL is retained for backward compatibility. The authoritative baseline flag for statistical analysis is in an ADaM dataset.Perm
FAEVALEvaluatorChar(EVAL)Record QualifierRole of the person who provided the evaluation. Used only for results that are subjective (e.g., assigned by a person or a group). Should be null for records that contain collected or derived data. Examples: "INVESTIGATOR", "ADJUDICATION COMMITTEE", "VENDOR".Perm
VISITNUMVisit NumberNum
Timing
  1. Clinical encounter number.
  2. Numeric version of VISIT, used for sorting.
Exp
VISITVisit NameChar
Timing
  1. Protocol-defined description of clinical encounter.
  2. May be used in addition to VISITNUM and/or VISITDY.
Perm
VISITDYPlanned Study Day of VisitNum
TimingPlanned study day of the visit based upon RFSTDTC in Demographics.Perm
TAETORDPlanned Order of Element within ArmNum
TimingNumber that gives the planned order of the element within the arm.Perm
EPOCHEpochChar(EPOCH)TimingEpoch associated with the date/time of the observation. Examples: "SCREENING", "TREATMENT", "FOLLOW-UP".Perm
FADTCDate/Time of CollectionCharISO 8601 datetime or intervalTimingCollection date and time of findings assessment represented in ISO 8601 character format.Exp
FADYStudy Day of CollectionNum
Timing
  1. Study day of collection, measured as integer days.
  2. Algorithm for calculations must be relative to the sponsor-defined RFSTDTC variable in Demographics. This formula should be consistent across the submission.
