The CDISC Analysis Data Model Implementation Guide (ADaMIG) provides several timing variables for modeling clinical trial designs in analysis datasets. APHASE, APERIOD, and ASPER can be used in conjunction with related treatment variables to meet a variety of analysis requirements, from single-period parallel studies to much more complicated situations involving multiple treatment periods and even different studies. The goal of this article is to provide guidelines for identifying when to use the different timing variables that are available. Additional examples can be found in the References and Resources listed at the end of the article.
This article aims to clarify and establish a shared understanding of the recommended CDISC approach for identifying CDISC Biomedical Concepts (BCs) within a defined group of interest, with particular emphasis on Questionnaires, Ratings, and Scales (QRS) instruments.
