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)

Overview

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) convened the Parkinson's Disease (PD) v1.0 Common Data Elements (CDE) Working Group (WG) in 2009. The PD v1.0 CDE WG brought together over 50 experts from nine countries divided into 12 subgroups/specialty areas. The subgroups defined the CDEs for their domains and recommended standardized, validated instruments for PD research. The first set of CDEs for PD was completed in 2010.

The PD CDE Oversight Committee (OC) was created in 2016 to periodically review, direct the updating, and advance the development of PD CDEs.

In 2021, the PD v2.0 CDE WG was convened to perform a comprehensive review and update of the PD CDEs. The WG was divided into 11 domain-specific subgroups and a biostatistician served as a consultant on scale metrics and statistics. The PD v2.0 CDE recommendations were posted in August 2022.

PD v2.0 CDE Subgroups:

  • Cognitive
  • Digital Technology
  • Epidemiology and Environment
  • Functional Neurosurgery
  • General and Motor
  • Genetics
  • Imaging
  • Neuropathology
  • Other Non-Motor
  • Psychiatry
  • Quality of Life
