Constant Findings

This report identifies tests from findings domains (LB, EG, or VS) that have the same result for the entire study.

Report Results Description

Running Constant Findings for Nicardipine using default settings generates the report shown below.

The Report contains the following elements:

Test Results

Multiple sections, one for each findings domain, are displayed. Data that are summarized are those test codes that are constant throughout the course of the study.

Each section contains the following elements:

One or more Histograms.

The data table underlying these histograms represent tests that are constant for the duration of the trial. Therefore, Unique Subject Identifier summarizes the number of parameters that are constant for each subject. Study Site Identifier shows the frequency of constant tests at each study site. Country summarizes the country of the study site subjects participated at. Test or Examination Name shows the tests that are constant. Treatment Arm is provided to show whether the frequency of constant tests varies based on study treatment.

See Distribution for more information.

Click the general button to show the records for selected subjects. This details the tests that are constant, as well as the value and the number of times each value is repeated.

Report Filter

These filters enable you to subset and view subjects based on demographic characteristics and other criteria. The default filter in this report enables you to select the findings results you want to view. Refer to Data Filter for more information.

Frequency Tables

There is a table for each bar chart listing the frequencies and probabilities for observing constant findings.

Options

Data

Analyze:

Use this widget to specify whether numeric or character results should be analyzed for duplicates.

Findings Tests

Use this widget to select Findings Tests for the analysis. The report will autorun and analysis is restricted to the selected tests only.

Consider BY variables in the analysis

You can opt to Consider BY variables in the analysis. This option, which assumes that BY variables (left vs. right arm for collecting blood pressure data, for example) are included in the experimental design, is selected by default. You can uncheck this option to ignore BY variables.

Subset of Visits

Use the Subset of Visits option to select the visits to be included in the analysis.

Remove unscheduled visits

You might or might not want to include unscheduled visits when you are analyzing findings by visit. Check the Remove unscheduled visits to exclude unscheduled visits.

Methodology

No testing is performed. Analysis is restricted to tabulating counts/frequencies of subjects exhibiting constant findings results.
