Results and Lessons from the CDISC SDTM/ADaM Pilot Project http://www.bettermanagement.com/seminars/seminar.aspx?mode=play&L=14684 Get registered free… and listen to 1 hour Audio seminar by… Cathy Barrows, Ph.D Chris Holland Edvard D. Helton, Ph.D Tanyss Mason Program Content: The CDISC SDTM/ADaM Pilot Project was conducted as a collaborative pilot project with FDA and Industry. The objective of the pilot project was to test how well the submission of CDISC-adherent datasets and associated metadata met the needs and the expectations of both medical and statistical FDA reviewers. In doing this, the project also assessed the data structure, resources and processes needed to transform data from a data source into the SDTM and ADaM formats, and to create the associated metadata. An additional goal was to produce a worked example implementation of the CDISC standards available at that time, including the Define.xml file. This webcast will review the experiences, results, and...

Importing Excel Files Into SAS Using DDE What in the world is DDE and why use it? Good question... DDE is “Dynamic Data Exchange” and is a method of accessing data from one MS-Windows application by another. As a SAS user, you can use DDE within a DATA step to import data into SAS and export data from SAS. Using DDE involves SAS code and statements that other MS-Windows applications understand. But, why bother with DDE when other methods are available? What about the IMPORT and EXPORT procedures? Or, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)? How about SAS Enterprise Guide? These alternatives are useful under the right conditions. For example, the PROC IMPORT and PROC EXPORT are simple to use, but are limited in the way you can define your data and these procedures require you license SAS/ACCESS For PC Formats. Bummer. ODBC is also simple to use, but importing data into SAS using ODBC requires you license SAS/ACCESS For ODBC. Bummer again. And, the new Excel LIBNAME engine? Oh, that also req...

I am not sure what other fellow SAS Programmers think about SAS Graphs, but I think they are easy to generate than tables…. I was amazed by how easy it was to get more than 1-2 graphs in single page. While surfing on the net, I found a nice SUGI paper which deals with the ways of putting multiple graphs in one single page. This paper provides 3 different methods (PROC GREPLAY, the Data Step Graphics Interface (DSGI), and ODS LAYOUT) to put multiple figures on a one single page. Multiple Graphs on One Page Using SAS/GRAPH® V9

Need to convert SDTM data to ADaM data? Here's (Clinplus Report) Introduction If you have you been wondering how you can effectively meet the clinical data study standards set out by the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) specifically with regards to the Study Data Tabulation Module (SDTM) and the Analysis Data Model (ADaM) our data conversion and reporting tool may be the solution you are looking for to generate all of your safety tables and listings and provide supporting documentation in a validated, standardized ADaM compliant manner. A Taste of SDTM in Real Time Do we need to create ADaM dataset for each SDTM dataset? By Jack Shostak: You do not need to create an analysis dataset for every SDTM domain. The SDTM files can be used as-is (and probably with support from ADSL for key analysis variables) for statistical analysis if you can get away with that. The idea with analysis datasets and ADaM is that ADaM datasets are value added. ADaM...
