Details

This metadata has its origin in the ADLB Grading Spec json file data-raw/adlb_grading/ncictcaev4_uscv.json. The variables GRADE_NA_CODE, GRADE_4_CODE, GRADE_3_CODE, GRADE_2_CODE and GRADE_1_CODE in the json file are combined to create GRADE_CRITERIA_CODE, and then dropped from metadata. The dataset contains the following columns:

  • SOC: variable to hold the SOC of the lab test criteria.

  • TERM: variable to hold the term describing the criteria applied to a particular lab test, eg. 'Anemia' or 'INR Increased'. Note: the variable is case insensitive.

  • Grade 1: Criteria defining lab value as Grade 1.

  • Grade 2: Criteria defining lab value as Grade 2.

  • Grade 3: Criteria defining lab value as Grade 3.

  • Grade 4: Criteria defining lab value as Grade 4.

  • Grade 5: Criteria defining lab value as Grade 5.

  • Definition: Holds the definition of the lab test abnormality.

  • GRADE_CRITERIA_CODE: variable to hold code that creates grade based on defined criteria.

  • UNIT_CHECK: variable to hold USCV unit of particular lab test. Used to check against input data if criteria is based on absolute values.

  • VAR_CHECK: List of variables required to implement lab grade criteria. Use to check against input data.

  • DIRECTION: variable to hold the direction of the abnormality of a particular lab test value. 'L' is for LOW values, 'H' is for HIGH values. Note: the variable is case insensitive.

  • COMMENT: Holds any information regarding rationale behind implementation of grading criteria.

Note: Variables SOC, TERM, Grade 1, Grade 2,Grade 3,Grade 4,Grade 5, Definition are from the source document on NCI-CTC website defining the grading criteria. Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)v4.0 From these variables only 'TERM' is used in the {admiral} code, the rest are for information and traceability only.
