Purpose

Record the patient's Vital Signs while on study. Please note that if Vital Signs are taken as a part of protocol specific Physical Exam, record those Vital Signs on the Physical Exam eCRF.

Note: This eCRF is mandatory for all CTEP sponsored CTMS monitored studies.

Description

Resolutions

VIT01

Systolic Blood Pressure is less than Diastolic Blood Pressure.

Systolic Blood Pressure must be greater than Diastolic Blood Pressure.

VIT02

Two Vital Signs entries have the same Date and Time.

Correct the date and/or time.

VIT03

Entered BSA is not within 10% accuracy of the calculated BSA using the MIS formula.

Correct the BSA.
The MIS BSA formula is: BSA (m²) = Height(cm)^0.725 x Weight(kg)^0.425 / 139.315

VIT04

Entered BSA is not within 10% accuracy of the calculated BSA using the Mosteller formula.

Correct the BSA.
The Mosteller BSA formula is: BSA (m²) = ( Height(cm) x Weight(kg) / 3600 )^½

VIT05

Vitals Date is in the future.

Enter a date that is equal to or prior to the current date.

VIT06, VIT07,
VIT08, VIT09,
VIT10, VIT11,
VIT12, VIT13

Height, Weight, BSA, Temperature, Pulse, Respiration Rate, Systolic and/or Diastolic Blood Pressure are/is less than zero.

Height, Weight, BSA, Temperature, Pulse, Respiration Rate, Systolic Blood Pressure and Diastolic Blood Pressure must be greater than zero.

VIT14

Pulse Oximetry is out of range.

Pulse Oximetry must be an integer number between 0 and 100.

VIT15

Vitals (on cycle sections) have Date of Vitals outside the range of the cycle start and stop date.

Enter an appropriate date.

Note: this does not apply for all protocol.

Description

VIT1001

Course #

Course number is derived based on the course initiation start dates and the vital signs date.

VIT1002

Day in Course

Number of days since the beginning of the course is derived from the course initiation start date and the vital signs date.
