What are the major challenges or issues, if any? Aggressive enrollment goal (n = 1000) that dwarfs previous studies in this patient population Near constant assessment of the quality and quantity of sites Predictability of eligible patients at various sites Negotiations with Universities regarding language in contracted service agreements Negotiations with IRBs regarding consent process Future challenges Ensuring complete data entry from sites Ensuring follow-up visits Generating statistical models for testing of primary/secondary hypotheses
What percentage of your data is comprised of the International TBI Common Data Elements and what percentage are unique data elements? ADAPT Collection Classification YesNoIndirectlyTotal Core Basic Supplemental Total ADAPT collects a total of 1151 unique data elements Many of these elements are collected over time (ICP, CPP, etc) or several times (neurological exam elements) Therefore, the number of elements collected in ADAPT is more than 1151 and is dependent upon how many days of data collection occurs for each subject
Core CDEs Not Collected in ADAPT Not relevant to the child population Self-identified gender – we are collecting biological sex of the subject Employment status of the subject – all will be school-aged or younger and not employed GCS using adult variables Not relevant for severity of injury Length of time unconscious – in severe TBI, all children are in prolonged comas Unknown elements ICD-9 codes? SNOWMED CT scans?
