"COUNTRY" Terminology Change

| Affected Standard |
SDTMIG v3.1.2
SDTMIG v3.1.2, Amendment 1
SDTMIG v3.1.3
SDTMIG v3.2
|
| Description of Codelist Change |
The SDTMIG v3.2 and earlier versions list the CDISC SDTM codelist "COUNTRY" as the terminology codelist to use for the Demographics domain variable COUNTRY. This codelist was retired in 2016-09-30 (Package 27) because it duplicated the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions. Maintaining the SDTM "COUNTRY" codelist was not reasonable, since it duplicated content maintained by ISO. |
| Standard with Codelist Change |
SDTMIG v3.3 lists 3166-1 alpha-3 as the codelist for the COUNTRY variable |

For submissions using CDISC CT package 27 or later, submission values that were prepared using the CDISC SDTM "COUNTRY" codelist for DM.COUNTRY may not be those in the current version of ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 |
Most values will be identical, but should be checked. |

TSPARM "Pharmacological Class" Terminology Change
|
|---|---|
| Affected Standard |
SDTMIG v3.1.3
SDTMIG v3.2
|
| Description of Codelist Change |
The SDTMIG, in an appendix and in a Trial Summary (TS) Example, "NDF-RT" is given as the terminology to be used for TSVAL when TSPARMCD = "PCLAS". "NDF-RT" stands for "National Drug File - Reference Terminology", It has been replaced by "MED-RT" or "Medication Reference Terminology" as explained here https://evs.nci.nih.gov/ftp1/MED-RT/Introduction%20to%20MED-RT.pdf . The FDA Data Standards Catalog, 2018-12-19 and later versions, specified "MED-RT" as the terminology to be used for TSVAL when TSPARMCD = "PCLAS". |
| Standard with Codelist Change |
The codelist was corrected in SDTMIG v3.3. |
| Affected Variable | Codelist in Published Standard | Replacement Codelist |

NDF-RT

MED-RT
|
| Impact of Issue | Coping Strategy |
|---|---|
|
For data that has not been coded, the NDF-RT codelist is no longer available. |
Use the MED-RT codelist instead. |
|
Data values taken from the NDF-RT codelist may not be present in the MED-RF codelist. |
Most code values are probably the same, but should be checked. |
