FindingsVSN/AHorizontal-Generic1STUDYIDStudy 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/AAlthough 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.
FindingsVSN/AHorizontal-Generic2SITEIDStudy Site IdentifierA unique identifier for a site within a study.What is the site identifier?Site (Identifier)CharHRN/ADM.SITEIDMaps 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.

FindingsVSN/AHorizontal-Generic3SUBJIDSubject Identifier for the StudyA unique subject identifier within a site and a study.What [is/was] the (study) [subject/participant] identifier?[Subject/Participant] (Identifier)CharHRRecord the identifier for the subject.DM.SUBJIDMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.N/AN/A

Paper: This is typically recorded in the header of each CRF page. EDC: The subject identifiers may be system-generated. This collection variable is typically collected in all colelction domains. However, this collection variable is populated only in the tabulation DM domain.

FindingsVSN/AHorizontal-Generic4VISITVisit NameThe name of a clinical 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/AThe name of the clinical encounter is typically pre-printed on the CRF or displayed within 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.
FindingsVSN/AHorizontal-Generic5VISDATVisit DateDate the clinical 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 a 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 VS 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 VS CRF using the date field (VSDAT).
FindingsVSN/AHorizontal-Generic6[VSTESTCD]_VSPERFVital Signs PerformedAn indication of whether a planned vital signs measurement, series of vital signs measurements, tests, or observations was performed.Were [vital signs/[VSTEST] performed?Vital Signs Performed ; [VSTEST] PerformedCharOIndicate if the vital signs were collected. If Yes, include the appropriate details where indicated on the CRF.VSSTATThis does not map directly to an tabulation variable. May be used to derive a value into the tabulation variable VSSTAT. If VSPERF="N", the value of VSSTAT will be "NOT DONE". If VSPERF="Y", VSSTAT should be null. A combination of tabulation variables (e.g., VSCAT and VSSCAT, VSTPT) is used to indicate that multiple tests were not done. In this situation, the tabulation variable VSTESTCD would be populated as VSALL and an appropriate test name (VSTEST) provided.(NY)N/AThis general prompt question is used as a data management tool to verify that missing results are confirmed missing. This may be implemented for all tests collected on the same horizontal record or for each specific test. When mapped to the tabulation dataset, the value of VSPERF would apply to all tests on the same record. Use the collection variable [VSTESTCD]_VSPERF when implemented on a specific test basis.
FindingsVSN/AHorizontal-Generic7[VSTESTCD]_VSDATVital Signs DateThe date of the vital signs measurement, represented in an unambiguous date format (e.g., DD-MON-YYYY).What was the date of the measurement(s)?[VSTEST] DateCharR/CRecord date of measurements using this format (DD-MON-YYYY).VSDTCThis does not map directly to an tabulation variable. For the tabulation dataset, concatenate all collected DATE and TIME components and populate the tabulation variable VSDTC in ISO 8601 format.N/AN/AA single date may be collected for all the vital sign measurements when they are performed on the same date. The date of each measurement can also be collected for each measurement using a collection variable [VSTESTCD]_VSDAT. The date of the measurements may be determined from a collected date of visit; in such cases, a separate measurement date field is not required.
FindingsVSN/AHorizontal-Generic8[VSTESTCD]_VSTIMVital Signs TimeThe time of measurement, represented in an unambiguous time format (e.g., hh:mm:ss).What was the time of the measurement(s)?[VSTEST] TimeCharR/CRecord time of measurement (as complete as possible).VSDTCThis does not map directly to an tabulation variable. For the tabulation dataset, concatenate all collected DATE and TIME components and populate the tabulation variable VSDTC in ISO 8601 format.N/AN/AA single collection time (e.g., VSTIM) 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 [VSTESTCD]_VSTIM.

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 from 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.

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 header. VSSCAT can only be used if there is a VSCAT, and it must be a subcategorization of VSCAT.
FindingsVSN/AHorizontal-Generic11VSGRPIDVital Signs Group IDAn applicant-defined identifier used to tie a block of related records in a single domain.What is the vital signs group identifier?Test Group IDCharORecord unique group identifier. The applicant may insert additional instructions to ensure each record has a unique group identifier.VSGRPIDMaps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column.N/AN/AIt can be beneficial to use an identifier in a data query to communicate clearly to the site the specific record in question. This group identifier ties together all the tests collected on the same horizontal record. This field may be populated by the applicant's data collection system.

The tabulation time-point anchors VSTPTREF (text description) and VSRFTDTC (date/time) may be needed, as well as tabulation variables VSTPTNUM, VSELTM.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 words such as "Planned Time Point" can be included in the column heading. The planned time point of each measurement can also be collected using the collection variable [VSTESTCD]_VSTPT.

The value of VSSTAT applies to all measurements on that record when mapped to the tabulation dataset. If needed, for each test "NOT DONE" may be collected using the collection variable [VSTESTCD]_VSSTAT.

VSORRES; VSTEST; VSTESTCD

Maps directly to the tabulation variable listed in the Tabulation Target column. In addition to the tabulation variable VSORRES, create VSTESTCD from the collection variable name and determine the value of VSTEST from VSTESTCD. The prompt may also contain the VSTEST.
