Chiari I Malformation

Data Standards

 Organized by domains and sub-domains, often used in clinical studies, data standards include:

  • CDEs — Classified as Core, Supplemental–Highly Recommended, Supplemental, or Exploratory
  • CRF Modules — Template forms that logically organize CDEs for data collection
  • Guidance Documents — Provide further information about the CDEs
  • Instrument Notice of Copyright (NOC) Documents  Include pertinent information on recommended instruments (Instrument Notice of Copyright Information)

Chiari I Malformation Highlight Summary: Overview of all Chiari I Malformation-specific CDE recommendations as they appear on the website

The first set of Common Data Elements (CDEs) for CM1 was developed in partnership with the Bobby Jones Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation in 2016. The purpose of the Chiari I Malformation Common Data Elements (CDEs) is to facilitate research by providing a standard definition for common, previously used research variables so that they may be used in a more uniform fashion across the available literature. The listing of Common Data Element and Instrument definitions and tools is not intended to limit the consideration of any other variables in the investigation of Chiari I Malformation, but merely to standardize the use of frequently observed variables, where possible. It is recognized, for example, that other metrics, especially those involving the characterization of soft tissue and CSF volume and shape, or those involving dynamic physiological measures, are likely important to future Chiari investigation and perhaps, ultimately, its evaluation and treatment. These metrics have not yet been included in this iteration of the Chiari I Malformation CDEs because there are no current standardization methods available. It is our hope that these elements may be part of future versions of the CDEs to further advance the literature. Finally, we should be mindful that it is not the purpose of these CDEs to define Chiari I Malformation itself or to guide surgical treatment; these CDEs are a tool for research purposes.

Form Search Instructions - Please Read Before Searching

The Form Search is designed to filter the CRF Modules, Guidance Documents, and NOCs on this page by Search Term, Domain, Subdomain, and/or Copyright Status. The Copyright field is designed to filter between forms that are freely available online and forms that are copyrighted or trademarked. Please note that regardless of copyright/trademark status, these instruments are not available on this website. All recommended instruments, regardless of copyright status, have informational documents posted on the NINDS CDE website which provide details concerning availability.

Overview

The first set of Common Data Elements (CDEs) for Chiari I Malformation was developed in 2016.

The Chiari I Malformation CDE Working Group was comprised of six different subgroups. Chairs were appointed to lead the overall Working Group and the individual subgroups. The Working Group members actively developed the CDEs for their specific subgroups and also had an opportunity to review and comment on the recommendations of the other subgroups. The Chiari I Malformation CDE Working Group was supported by the NINDS CDE Team.
