This course teaches SAS programmers essential concepts about creating and validating SDTM and ADaM variables in key CDISC datasets. You will learn how to build and process hierarchy of adverse events variables and paired lab variables.
Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) exists to develop and support global platform independent standards for improving data quality and accelerate the process. These standards are useful for packaging, reporting and streamlining clinical research data. CDISC enables the electronic acquisition, submission, exchange and archiving of clinical trials data for improving medical research, product development, and other related medical healthcare areas.
Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) provides standards for regulatory submission of case report from data tabulations produced in clinical research studies.
Analysis Data Model (ADaM) provides the content standard for the organization, structure, and format of analysis datasets and related metadata.
SDTM holds Raw data, and Adam holds analysis datasets. The efficient way of deploying is creating SDTM datasets and then creating ADaM datasets and then finally display the outputs in the form of tables, figure, and listings based on the ADaM datasets.
CDISC is very popular because it provides a standardized dataset names and layout, supports standardized variable naming conventions and enables standardized calculations for common variables and percent change from baseline.
The advantage of using ADaM is, it supports efficient generation, replication, and review of clinical trial statistical analyses. ADaM also provides traceability between the analysis results, analysis data, and data represented in the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM).
SDTM data is standardized, standardized programs and codes from which you can derive ADaM data, leading to increased efficiency in the process.
This lesson teaches about CDISC that helps to structure the data and specifies the data to for collection and the method to conduct clinical trials, assessments or endpoints. The advantage of using CDISC is that it facilitates data sharing, increases predictability, improves data quality, streamlines the process and reduces costs.
SDTM defines a standard structure for human clinical trial data tabulations and nonclinical study data tabulations. In this session, you will learn to create new domains.
The Analysis Data Model identifies the principles for analysis datasets and standards for a subject-level analysis file and a basic data structure that you can use for a wide variety of analysis methods.
Metadata plays a vital role for successful automation. The Programs written using SAS read the table-driven metadata to translate the analysis data into SDTM formats. Metadata instructs the SAS code about which study variables populates the SDTM variables. All code developed are generic using the metadata to indicate when variations are required.
The SDTM and ADaM dataset development are independent, and they can complete at any time without input from the other. The independence of the SDTM and ADaM datasets allows you to parallelly work with the extraction, transformation and loading the(ETL) processes.
This lesson explains about the Metadata which talks all about the datasets. Datasets are the variables used or the values of the variables. Complete and accurate metadata is essential in the clinical space for submission and approval of drugs and devices.
SAS Programming lets you process the DBMS extract to the SDTM domains. You can build conventional DSMS structure, standard mappings and standard extracts using the SAS software. The advantage of using Base SAS software is that it allows you to take complete control over the domain mappings and provides documentation in the form of SAS programs and log files. The SAS code in the SDTM increases the programming efficiency and also streamlines the documentation.
Researchers and programmers use SAS to analyze, summarize, and report clinical trial data. This lesson teaches you the method to create and implement the tables, listings, and graphs using SAS
Implementing CDISC SDTM with SAS allows you to submit animal and human study datasets in electronic format. Datasets are a display of the study data used by reviewers to conduct specific analyses of the study data. They include both raw and derived data.
