Basic Concepts in CDISC SDTMObservations and Variables • The SDTM provides a general framework for describing the organization of information collected during human and animal studies. • The model is built around the concept of observations, which consist of discrete pieces of information collected during a study. Observations normally correspond to rows in a dataset. • Each observation can be described by a series of named variables. Each variable, which normally corresponds to a column in a dataset, can be classified according to its Role. • Observations are reported in a series of domains, usually corresponding to data that were collected together. A domain is defined as a collection of observations with a topic-specific commonality about a subject. From the Study Data Tabulation Model document
Basic Concepts in CDISC/SDTMVariable Roles • A Role determines the type of information conveyed by the variable about each distinct observation and how it can be used. • A common set of Identifier variables, which identify the study, the subject (individual human or animal) involved in the study, the domain, and the sequence number of the record. • Topic variables, which specify the focus of the observation (such as the name of a lab test), and vary according to the type of observation. • A common set of Timing variables, which describe the timing of an observation (such as start date and end date). • Qualifier variables, which include additional illustrative text, or numeric values that describe the results or additional traits of the observation (such as units or descriptive adjectives). The list of Qualifier variables included with a domain will vary considerably depending on the type of observation and the specific domain • Rule variables, which express an algorithm or executable method to define start, end, or looping conditions in the Trial Design model.

Basic Concepts in CDISC/SDTMSubclasses of Qualifiers • Grouping Qualifiers are used to group together a collection of observations within the same domain. • Examples include --CAT, --SCAT, --GRPID, --SPEC, --LOT, and --NAM. The latter three grouping qualifiers can be used to tie a set of observations to a common source (i.e., specimen, drug lot, or laboratory name, respectively). • Synonym Qualifiers specify an alternative name for a particular variable in an observation. • Examples include --MODIFY and --DECOD, which are equivalent terms for a --TRT or --TERM topic variable, and --LOINC which is an equivalent term for a --TEST and --TESTCD. • Result Qualifiers describe the specific results associated with the topic variable for a finding. It is the answer to the question raised by the topic variable. • Examples include --ORRES, --STRESC, and --STRESN. • Variable Qualifiers are used to further modify or describe a specific variable within an observation and is only meaningful in the context of the variable they qualify. • Examples include --ORRESU, --ORNHI, and --ORNLO, all of which are variable qualifiers of --ORRES: and --DOSU, --DOSFRM, and --DOSFRQ, all of which are variable qualifiers of --DOSE. observation and is • Record Qualifiers define additional attributes of the observation record as a whole (rather than describing a particular variable within a record). • Examples include --REASND, AESLIFE, and allother SAE flag variables in the AE domain; and --BLFL, --POS and --LOC.
