Data Sets Generated by the Adverse Events Narrative Report

A number of different SAS data sets are generated by the Adverse Events Narrative. These data sets and the variables that they contain are detailed in the tables below:

AEENDTCP | Formatted End Date/Time of Adverse Event. Asterisk (*) present if partial date for AEENDTC
AETERM | Asterisk (*) present if partial date available for RFSTDTC, which means all study days are questionable unless individual study days provided in domain data sets.
NEARAETEXT | Formatted list of adverse events occurring within the specified by the dialog (default = 3). Contains severities based on AETOXGR or AESEV, if available. Contains only unique instances of event/severity within the . Asterisks (*) imply a partial start date for the particular event.
FLAG | Values are "No Treatment", "On Treatment" (on or after first dose and on or before last dose of any study drug), "Pre Treatment" (before any study drug) or "Post Treatment" (after any study drug)
FLAGTXT | The text of FLAG, with asterisk if any partial dates in EX. All dates/study days involving treatment should be reviewed. INEXDOSEIMP = 1 in these cases.

AEDAYSFROMLASTDOSE | Number of days from last dose of any study drug (only if EX available)
DRUGATEVENT | Formatted text of all drugs from EX that are taken on the day on which the event occurs (EXTRT, EXDOS, and EXDOSU). Available only if all study treatments are taken at least once per day (from dialog).
NUMDAYSDRUGATTIME | List for the number of days the patient has been on each drug from DRUGATEVENT.
CMTEXT | Formatted list of concomitant medications that patient is on when the event starts. Can include indication (CMINDC) if requested from dialog. Contains only unique instances of medication/indication. Asterisks imply a partial or missing start or end date for the particular medication. (only if CM available)
MHTEXT | Formatted list of medical history with year from MHSTDTC (if MH available)
DSSTDTCP | Formatted Start Date/Time of Disposition Event for completion/ discontinuation. Asterisk present if partial date for AESTDTC.
TOTALCMCNT | Total concomitant records available for subject
HOTEXT | Formatted list of health-care encounters if all are requested from dialog. Asterisks imply a partial start or end date. (only if HO available)
NEARHOTEXT | Formatted list of health-care encounters occurring within the specified by the dialog (default = 3). Asterisks imply a partial start date. (only if HO available).
PREDATATXT_A | Formatted version of the day/date with findings A prior to event. Made of PREDT_A and PRESTDY_A. Results apply to Findings B and Findings C with equivalent variables.
POSTDATATXT_A | Formatted version of the day/date with findings A subsequent to event. Made of POSTDT_A and POSTSTDY_A. Results apply to Findings B and Findings C with equivalent variables.
BASETEXTA | String of baseline findings, limited to abnormal lab tests. Results apply to Findings B and Findings C with equivalent variables.
PRETEXTA | String of findings just prior to event, limited to abnormal lab tests with a normal baseline or those different from baseline. Results apply to Findings B and Findings C with equivalent variables.
POSTTEXTA | String of findings just subsequent to event, limited to abnormal lab tests with a normal baseline or those different from baseline. Results apply to Findings B and Findings C with equivalent variables.

Variables in the narrmeta_XXX.sas7bdat data set are as follows:.

Table 1.2

Variable | Contents
CM | Y if CM domain available (with requirements met), N if not.
DS | Y if DS domain available (with requirements met), N if not.
EX | Y if EX domain available (with requirements met), N if not.
MH | Y if MH domain available (with requirements met), N if not.
HO | Y if HO domain available (with requirements met), N if not.
EXDaily | Y or N according to selected option in dialog as to whether all drugs are taken daily. If EX not available, this is missing.
HO | The HO value is nonmissing if nearby hospitalizations are requested from the dialog, and the value is based on user-selection (default = 3). This value is missing if all hospitalizations are reported or if the HO domain is not available.
AECONTRT | Y or N depending on whether variable is available.
AEOUT | Y or N depending on whether variable is available.
AEREL | Y or N depending on whether variable is available.
AESER | Y or N depending on whether variable is available.
CMINDC | Y or N depending on whether variable is available.
ACTARM | Y or N depending on whether variable is available.
AE | Based on dialog preference, default of 3 days.
Variables for Findings A1 Similar variables are present for Findings B and C, if specified () |
| • | FDomA: 2 letter Findings domain code from Findings A tab if requirements are met. Missing otherwise.
| • | FLabA: Label for findings domain A.
| • | FBaseA: Y or N based on whether baseline findings A data is requested
| • | FPreA: Y or N based on whether pre-event findings A data is requested
| • | FPostA: Y or N based on whether post-event findings A data is requested
NumEvents | Number of summarized events (rows of narrtext_XXX.sas7bdat). Each row is a separate narrative.

Note: Completion-Discontinuation status is selected from the records where DSCAT = Disposition Event and EPOCH = Treatment (if either or available). If multiple records are available from this subsetting, the last is chosen. Completers are those with COMPLETE in DSDECOD.
