ADaM, short for Analysis Data Model, transforms raw data into analysis-ready datasets, crucial for clinical research. While SDTM standardizes data, ADaM prepares it for analysis. Dive into the world of ADaM with me! Understanding its three key structures: 1. ADSL (Subject Level Analysis Dataset) ADSL: The backbone of analysis. 2. BDS (Basic Data Structure) ADLB, ADEX, ADEG, and ADVS: Building blocks for insightful analysis. 3. OCCDS (Occurrence Data Structure) ADCM, ADAE: Uncover critical occurrences for thorough analysis. To kickstart ADaM programming, essential documents include: 1. ADaM Implementation Guide ( ADaMIG ) 2. Protocol : The blueprint of study design and objectives. 3. CRF : Capturing crucial data points. 4. SAP : Guiding the analysis journey. 5. Mockup Shells : Visualizing dataset structures. 6. ADaM Specification : Navigating dataset creation. 7. Raw SDTM dataset : The foundation of analysis. In this project, armed with these documents, I started the journey by: 1. Prot...
Introduction The Basic Data Structure (BDS) is a fundamental element within the Analysis Data Model (ADaM), which is a significant component of the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC). BDS is the standard domain structure in ADaM, designed to facilitate the creation of analysis-ready datasets. This structure allows for one or more records per subject per analysis parameter per analysis time point. All the BDS datasets usually follow same variables, with a sprinkle of dataset specific suffix's. Examples are ADVS, ADLB, ADEG. Some of the common variables in BDS datasets Common variables in BDS datasets: STUDYID USUBJID SUBJID SITEID TRTP TRTPN TRTA TRTAN SCRNFL ENRLFL ITTFL SAFFL PKFL ADT ADTM ATM ADY VISIT VISITNUM AVISIT AVISITN PARAM PARAMCD AVAL DTYPE ABLFL BASE CHG EPOCH APHASE ANL01FL —ORRES —STRESC —STRESN —STRESU —SEQ —DTC —DY AVALCAT01 variables in ADLB dataset: LBSTAT LBNAM LBSPEC LBNRIND LBSTNRLO LBS...
