Standardized MedDRA Queries Distribution
This report compares distributions of SMQs across treatment arms .
Report Results Description
Running Standardized MedDRA Queries Distribution for the Nicardipine study using MedDRA Version 16.0 files generates the Report shown below.
Note : Your output might vary depending on which version of MedDRA you provide (in terms of the location of the *. asc files).
The Report contains the following elements:
Distribution Details
Provides Bar Chart s to summarize the frequency or percentage of major classes of SMQs by treatment.
Bar charts are provided to summarize the major classes of SMQ : a) Narrow Search at the Individual Term Level (open by default), b) Broad Search at the Individual Term Level, c) Algorithm Search at the Individual Term Level, d) Narrow Search at the Cumulative Term Level, or e) Broad Search at the Cumulative Term Level. The bars display the frequency or percentage by treatment of subjects that meet the criteria for each SMQ.
For non-hierarchical SMQs, the results of individual or cumulative analyses are identical. For hierarchical SMQs, cumulative analyses include SMQs from all sub-SMQs. For example, view the Hepatic Disorders hierarchy on the Hierarchical SMQs tab. An individual-level analysis for Liver Neoplasms, malignant, and unspecified would contain only those SMQs that fall within cell 20000011; the cumulative analysis would include SMQs from 20000011, and the sub-SMQs 20000208 and 20000209.
Narrow search uses a more specific set of terms, while broad search uses a larger set of terms that can identify subjects that do not have the SMQ disease in question. A small number of SMQs have an algorithm that often involves experiencing a certain number of terms within a set number of groups.
The bars display the frequency or percentage by treatment of subjects that meet the criteria for each SMQ.
See Graph Builder documentation for more information.
A Data Filter .
This enables you to subset subjects based on demographic characteristics and other criteria. Refer to Data Filter for more information.
Hierarchical SMQs
Summarizes hierarchical SMQs graphically and provides observed and cumulative sample sizes and percentages of SMQs.
The Hierarchical SMQs section contains the following elements:
The hierarchy plots illustrate the grouping relationship of several related SMQs . Tables below each hierarchy provide the counts and percents of subjects that experience the SMQs both individually and cumulatively.
In the example circled above, an individual-level analysis for Liver Neoplasms, malignant and unspecified would contain only those SMQs that fall within cell 20000011; the cumulative analysis would include SMQs from 20000011, and the sub-SMQs 20000208 and 20000209.
Action Buttons
Action buttons, provide you with an easy way to drill down into your data. The following action buttons are generated by this report:
Profile Subjects : Select subjects and click to generate the patient profiles for subjects experiencing selected events. See Profile Subjects for additional information.
Demographic Counts : Select subjects and click to create a data set of USUBJID s for subjects experiencing selected events, which subsets all subsequently run reports to those selected subjects. The currently available filter data set can be applied by selecting Apply Subject Filter in any report dialog .
Show SMQs : Select SMQs from the plots and click to open and subset the underlying data table to the selected SMQs.
Show Events Leading to SMQs : Select SMQs from the plots and click to open a set of distributions of the preferred or lower level terms (if available in the AE domain) that contribute to SMQs that are currently selected from one or more box plots .
