Finding Results

Indicate whether the finding results for the particular body system were either:
N - Normal
A - Abnormal
X - Not Examined
L - Not Applicable
Comments are required for abnormal finding results.

Note: Do not select "Normal" if the body system was not specifically assessed during the physical exam (i.e.: not mentioned in the progress note in the medical record).

Any baseline body system with "Abnormal" Finding Results that remained unchanged must be re-entered in this case report form.


For CTMS reporting studies, L is reported as X.

Use pick list.

Comments

If the finding results of a particular body system have changed from baseline, give a brief description of the change.
If choosing "Other", indicate the body or organ system missing from the list in the comment and include this for subsequent exams.
