Result or Findings as Collected

Char


Result Qualifier

Result of the vital signs measurement as originally received or collected.

Unit of the Standardized Result

Char

(UNIT)

Variable Qualifier

Standardized unit used for VSSTRESC and VSSTRESN.

Exp

VSSTAT

Completion Status

Char

(ND)

Record Qualifier

Used to indicate when a test is not done or result is missing. Should be null if a result exists in VSORRES.

Perm

VSREASND

Reason Not Done

Char


Record Qualifier

Describes why VSSTAT is NOT DONE, such as BROKEN EQUIPMENT.

Perm

VSLOC

Location of Vital Signs Measurement

Char


Record Qualifier

Location relevant to the collection of the vital signs measurement. Example: RECTAL for Temperature.

Perm

VSCSTATE

Consciousness State

Char

(CSTATE)

Record Qualifier

Consciousness state of the subject at the time of measurement. Examples: CONSCIOUS, SEMI-CONSCIOUS, UNCONSCIOUS.

Perm

VSBLFL

Baseline Flag

Char

(NY)

Record Qualifier

A baseline indicator may be used to calculate differences or changes from baseline. Value should be Y or null. The baseline flag is sponsor defined.

Exp

VSDRVFL

Derived Flag

Char

(NY)

Record Qualifier

Used to indicate a derived record. The value should be Y or null.

Perm

VSEXCLFL

Exclusion Flag

Char

(NY)

Record Qualifier

Y if the result should be excluded from all calculations, otherwise null.

Perm

VSREASEX

Reason for Exclusion

Char


Record Qualifier

The reason the result should be excluded from all calculations. Used only when VSEXCLFL is Y.

Perm

VSUSCHFL

Unscheduled Flag

Char

(NY)

Record Qualifier

Indicates whether the timing of the performed test or observation was unscheduled. If a test or observation was performed based upon a schedule defined in the protocol, this flag should be null. Expected values are Y or null.

Perm

VISITDY

Planned Study Day of Collection

Num


Timing

Planned day of the vital signs measurement. Should be an integer.

Perm

VSDTC

Date/Time of Measurement

Char

ISO 8601

Timing

Date/Time of the vital sign measurement, in ISO 8601 format. For indicating measurement over a period, DTC should be populated with the start date/time of collection.

Exp

VSENDTC

End Date/Time of Measurement

Char

ISO 8601

Timing

Date/Time of the end of the vital sign measurement, in ISO 8601 format. Should be populated for continuous period only.

Perm

VSDY

Study Day of Vital Signs Measurement

Num


Timing

Study day of vital signs measurements, in integer days. For indicating measurement over a continuous period, VSDY can be used to indicate start day of that interval. The algorithm for calculations must be relative to the sponsor-defined RFSTDTC variable in the Demographics (DM) domain.

Perm

VSENDY

Study Day of End of Measurement

Num


Timing

Study day of the end of the vital signs measurement, in integer days. Can be populated when VSDY represents the start day of a continuous evaluation interval. The algorithm for calculations must be relative to the sponsor-defined RFSTDTC variable in the Demographics (DM) domain.

Perm

VSTPT

Planned Time Point Name

Char


Timing

Text description of time when the vital signs measurement should be taken. This may be represented as an elapsed time relative to a fixed reference point, such as time of last dose. See VSTPTNUM and VSTPTREF. Examples: Predose, 1 Hour Postdose.

Perm

VSTPTNUM

Planned Time Point Number

Num


Timing

Numerical version of VSTPT to aid in sorting.

Perm

VSELTM

Planned Elapsed Time from Time Point Ref

Char

ISO 8601

Timing

Planned elapsed time (in ISO 8601 format) relative to a planned fixed reference (VSTPTREF). This variable is useful where there are repetitive measures. Not a clock time or a date time variable. Represented as a duration in ISO 8601 format. Examples: '-PT15M' to represent the period of 15 minutes prior to the reference point indicated by VSTPTREF or 'PT8H' to represent the period of 8 hours after the reference point indicated by VSTPTREF.

Perm

VSTPTREF

Time Point Reference

Char


Timing

Name of the fixed reference point referred to by VSELTM, if used for VSTPTNUM, and VSTPT. It is recommended that VSTPTREF be as descriptive as possible so the reference time point can be inferred without looking at other variables. Examples: DAY 1 DOSE, DAY 1 MEAL.

Perm

VSRFTDTC

Date/Time of Time Point Reference

Char

ISO 8601

Timing

Date/Time of the reference time point, VSTPTREF.
