The ADaM (Analysis Data Model) BDS (Basic Data Structure) has specific rules to follow when adding columns or rows. Because there are limitations to what can be added as a column to a BDS structure, much of our derived content must be added as rows. This HOW uses a Vital Signs example, demonstrating the common BDS dataset need of adding analysis parameters and visits. Attendees will start with a general specification and mock-up, and use that to create metadata content that can be used for both detailed specification and within a define document. The resulting metadata will include both variable-level and parameter-level content and contain SAS® code snippets. This is an intermediate-level HOW. Attendees are expected to be familiar with the analysis needs of clinical trials, CDISC, and submissions to FDA.
