Prospective Assessments for Suicidality
Investigators should use the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) (available
at
http://www.cssrs.columbia.edu, see additional C-SSRS information for
background materials provided to the NINDS CDE project by Dr. Posner) or another
instrument that maps to the Columbia Classification Algorithm for Suicide Assessment
(C-CASA) (Posner et al. 2007).
Posner, K, MA Oquendo, M Gould, B Stanley, and M Davies, 2007, Columbia Classification
Algorithm of Suicide Assessment
(C-CASA): Classification of Suicidal Events in the FDA’s Pediatric Suicidal Risk
Analysis of Antidepressants, Am J Psychiatry, 164:1035-1043.
Accessibility Statement
The NINDS CDE Team has requested, and in many cases received, permission to post
proprietary instruments/scales recommended by the CDE Working Groups to this site.
When permission is granted, the documents are posted in the exact format they were
received in order to maintain the validity of the instrument. If approval is not
granted for the instrument to be reproduced on this site, with the author/copyright
holder’s permission, a link is posted to an external Web site where users can get
more information about the instrument. If you have difficulty accessing either the
proprietary instruments/scales or the external links, please contact the
NINDS CDE Project Officer, Joanne Odenkirchen.

The Parkinson’s disease (PD) CDEs will follow the recommendations of the
PD CDE Working Group (WG), a committee of experts in the field (see History
and Acknowledgements).
The Parkinson’s Disease CDE WG brings together over fifty experts from nine countries
that are divided into twelve
Subgroups / Specialty areas. These specialty areas include:
- General and Motor
- Imaging
- Neuropathology
- Genetics
|
- Epidemiology/Environment
- Psychiatry
- Functional Neurosurgery
- Other Non-Motor
|
- Quality of Life
- Operations
- Cognitive
- Scale Metrics and Statistics
|
These subgroups tabulate the data elements commonly utilized in PD clinical studies
in order to standardize the collection of the most relevant and useful data.
Data standards include CDEs as well as case report form (CRF) Modules and Guidelines.
The CRF Modules logically organize the CDEs for data collection, while the Guidelines
provide further information about the CDEs. The CDEs, CRF Modules, and Guidelines
presented are organized into domains which are intuitive and common in clinical
research studies.
The Parkinson’s Disease CDE Working Group is currently comprised of twelve different
subgroups. Chairs were appointed to lead the overall Working Group and the individual
subgroups. The Working Group members actively develop the CDEs for their specific
subgroups and also have an opportunity to review and comment on the recommendations
of the other subgroups. The PD CDE Working Group is supported by the
NINDS CDE Team. The complete PD CDE Working Group roster and the rosters
by Subgroup are shown below.
Complete Parkinson's Disease CDE Working
Group Roster
The Parkinson’s Disease CDE WG meetings commenced in October 2009 and the Working
Group plans to release Version 1.0 of their PD CDEs in the fall of 2010. The PD
CDE WG holds meetings throughout the year to review materials drafted by the Subgroups
and incorporate them into the CDE recommendations.
