Mitochondrial Disease

Data Standards

Organized by domains and subdomains 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)

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.

Helpful Hints:

Once you have completed your search, the search results will need to be expanded by clicking the Expand All button to view results.

The default setting for Domain, Subdomain and Copyright fields is ‘Any’.

Leave the Search Term(s) field blank to return all results or enter search terms or keywords to return any forms that match the terms that are entered.

Overview

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) convened the Mitochondrial Disease v1.0 Common Data Elements (CDE) Working Group (WG) in 2014. The Mitochondrial Disease v1.0 CDE WG was divided into 9 domain-specific subgroups. The first set of CDEs for Mitochondrial Disease was completed in 2015.

The Mitochondrial Disease CDE Oversight Committee (OC) was created in 2018 to periodically review, direct the updating, and advance the development of Mitochondrial Disease CDEs.

In 2022, the Mitochondrial Diseases v2.0 CDE WG was convened to perform a comprehensive review and update of the Mitochondrial Disease v1.0 CDEs.

The WG used a common definition of primary mitochondrial diseases to help focus this review and standardize the recommendations: Mitochondrial Disease Definition.

The WG was divided into 11 domain-specific subgroups: Audiology Outcomes, Biomarkers, Cognitive/Psychological Outcomes, Endocrinology, Exercise Physiology, GI/Hepatology and Nutrition, General Medical/Neurological Assessments, Genetics, Imaging, Ophthalmology Outcomes, and Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO)/Quality of Life (QoL)/Fatigue.

The Internal Review and Public Review period for the draft Mitochondrial Disease v2.0 CDEs was October 18, 2023 – November 15, 2023. The final Mitochondrial Disease v2.0 CDE recommendations were posted in March 2024.
