CDISC SDTM <strong>KFSS</strong> Questionnaire Supplement (Version 1.0)<br />
1 Introduction<br />
This document describes the CDISC implementation of the <strong>Kurtzke</strong> <strong>Functional</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>Scores</strong><br />
(<strong>KFSS</strong>) questionnaire, a standard questionnaire that is typically used in clinical trials to provide a<br />
standardized measure of global neurological impairment in Multiple Sclerosis.<br />
The <strong>KFSS</strong> questionnaire preceded the CDISC CDASH CRF standards and based on its public<br />
domain status, cannot be modified to CDASH standards.<br />
The representation of data collected for this questionnaire is based on the Study Data Tabulation<br />
Model Implementation Guide (SDTMIG) QS domain model, which can be found at the CDISC<br />
website at: (http://www.cdisc.org/sdtm).<br />
These specific implementation details for this questionnaire are meant to be used in conjunction<br />
with the SDTMIG. All questionnaire documentation can be found on the CDISC web site at:<br />
(http://www.cdisc.org/content2909).<br />

1.1 Representations and Warranties, Limitations of Liability, and Disclaimers<br />
This document is a supplement to the Study Data Tabulation Model Implementation Guide for<br />
Human Clinical Trials and is covered under Appendix F of that document, which describes<br />
representations, warranties, limitations of liability, and disclaimers. Please see Appendix F of<br />
the SDTMIG for a complete version of this material.<br />
2 Copyright Status<br />
This instrument is in the public domain. CDISC has included the <strong>Kurtzke</strong> <strong>Functional</strong> <strong>Systems</strong><br />
<strong>Scores</strong> (<strong>KFSS</strong>) as part of CDISC Data Standards. Hence, CDISC developed QSTESTCD and<br />
QSTEST for each question based on the actual question text on the questionnaire. There may be<br />
many versions of this questionnaire in the public domain. CDISC has chosen to use this version<br />
as the data standard. The <strong>Kurtzke</strong> <strong>Functional</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>Scores</strong> is commonly known as the FSS,<br />
but the QSCAT=<strong>KFSS</strong> to differentiate this from the Fatigue Severity Scale, which is also<br />
commonly known as the FSS.<br />
The CDISC documentation of this instrument consists of: (1) controlled terminology, (2)<br />
standard database structure with examples, and (3) case report forms annotated with the CDISC<br />
SDTMIG submission values.<br />
Note: CDISC controlled terminology is maintained by NCI EVS. The most recent version should<br />
be accessed through the CDISC website. (http://www.cdisc.org/terminology)<br />

CDISC SDTM <strong>KFSS</strong> Questionnaire Supplement (Version 1.0)<br />
3 The QS Domain Model<br />
3.1 Assumptions for Questionnaire Domain Model<br />
All assumptions and business rules described in the SDTMIG QS domain are applicable to this<br />
supplement. Additional assumptions specific to the <strong>Kurtzke</strong> <strong>Functional</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>Scores</strong><br />
questionnaire are listed below.<br />
<strong>Kurtzke</strong> <strong>Functional</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>Scores</strong> (<strong>KFSS</strong>): The <strong>KFSS</strong> consists of 7 functional systems with an<br />
ordinal clinical rating scale for each. The functional systems included in the <strong>KFSS</strong> are the<br />
pyramidal, cerebellar, brainstem, sensory, bowel/bladder, visual, and cerebral functions. In<br />
addition to the functional system rating scales, there are 2 additional questions asking about<br />
weakness and temporal pallor, which could affect the ratings.<br />
1. The scale points include a rating (e.g. “0”) and a definition of what is represented by the<br />
rating (e.g. “Normal”). For <strong>KFSS</strong>, QSORRES is populated with the rating definition.<br />
QSSTRESC and QSSTRESN are populated with the numerical rating only.<br />
2. For item <strong>KFSS</strong>104, one of the rating definitions is longer than the 200 character limit<br />
currently mandated by the FDA, and hence, CDISC. The QS sub-team has paraphrased<br />
the text to shorten the responses. The original and modified values are summarized in<br />
Section 5.<br />
3. Items <strong>KFSS</strong>102A and <strong>KFSS</strong>106A have the instruction “record #1 in small box” when the<br />
subject has the specified condition (weakness, temporal pallor). If 1 is recorded in the<br />
box, QSORRES, QSSTRESC, and QSSTRESN have the value “1”. Otherwise, do not<br />
include a record for the item.<br />
4. The questionnaire evaluator is stored in QSEVAL. For <strong>KFSS</strong>, the evaluator is defined as<br />
INVESTIGATOR. Additional identifying information to further distinguish the rater in<br />
QSEVAL should be stored in QSEVALID. An example is rater initials.<br />
5. Terminology:<br />
a. QSCAT, QSTESTCD and QSTEST are approved CDISC controlled terminology.<br />
b. A full list of value sets for qualifier and result fields is provided in Section 4: SDTM<br />

3.2 Example for <strong>Kurtzke</strong> <strong>Functional</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>Scores</strong> (<strong>KFSS</strong>) QS Domain Model<br />
The <strong>KFSS</strong> example below shows the terminology used to implement the questionnaire in the QS domain. This example shows the data for one<br />
subject collected at the baseline visit for a <strong>KFSS</strong> questionnaire. The subject experienced weakness which interfered with the testing, but did not<br />
have temporal pallor. The example uses CDISC controlled terminology for QSTESTCD, QSTEST, and QSCAT. QSBLFL is Y based on<br />
VISITNUM=1. All original results are represented with preferred terminology in QSORRES. This result is then transformed into a standard<br />
numeric score in QSSTRESN and a character representation of the standard numeric score in QSSTRESC, with the exception of items <strong>KFSS</strong>102A<br />
and <strong>KFSS</strong>106A.<br />
Rows 1-8: Shows the questions from the <strong>KFSS</strong> form.<br />
Row 3: Shows the QSORRES, QSSTRESC, and QSSTRESN values of “1” since the subject experienced weakness which interfered with the<br />
testing. Note that since the subject did not have temporal pallor, a record for item <strong>KFSS</strong>106A is not created.<br />

4 SDTM Mapping Strategy<br />
<strong>KFSS</strong> specific mapping strategy: This section is used for reference with the annotated CRF for<br />
further details on the CRF data capture and to understand the alignment of the questionnaire to<br />
the SDTM QS domain. It also provides guidance on how the result variables (QSORRES,<br />
QSSTRESC, and QSSTRESN) should be populated for the questionnaire.<br />
