Stroke

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)

Form Search Instructions - Please Read Before Searching

The Form Search is designed to filter the CRF Modules, Guidance Documents, and NOCs on this page by Search Term, Domain, Subdomain, and/or Copyright Status. The Copyright field is designed to filter between forms that are freely available online and forms that are copyrighted or trademarked. Please note that regardless of copyright/trademark status, these instruments are not available on this website. All recommended instruments, regardless of copyright status, have informational documents posted on the NINDS CDE website which provide details concerning availability.

Helpful Hints:

Once you have completed your search, the search results will need to be expanded by clicking the Expand All button to view results.

The default setting for Domain, Subdomain and Copyright fields is ‘Any’.

Leave the Search Term(s) field blank to return all results or enter search terms or keywords to return any forms that match the terms that are entered.

Overview

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) formed the Stroke v1.0 CDE Working Group (WG) in July 2009. Chairs were appointed to lead the overall WG and the nine individual subgroups. The subgroups met regularly by teleconference in 2009 and 2010 to define the Common Data Elements (CDEs) for their domains and to recommend standardized, validated instruments for stroke research. The first set of CDEs for Stroke was completed in 2010.

NINDS formed an Oversight Committee (OC) to periodically review, direct the updating, and advance the development of Stroke CDEs in 2012.

In 2015, the Stroke OC reviewed the Core Stroke CDEs and determined needed classification updates based on disease stage and study type.

Based on the Stroke OC’s input, a Stroke v2.0 CDE Working Group was convened in 2018 to perform a comprehensive review of the Stroke CDEs. The WG was also asked to review the Unruptured Cerebral Aneurysms and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) CDEs for inclusion and harmonization. The Stroke v2.0 CDE WG was divided into eight domain-specific subgroups:

  • Stroke Presentation and Vital Signs
  • Medical History and Prior Health Status
  • Stroke Types and Subtypes
  • Hospital Course and Acute Therapies
  • Long Term Therapies
  • Outcomes and Endpoints
  • Imaging
  • Biospecimens, Biomarkers, and Laboratory Tests

The Stroke v2.0 CDEs were posted in summer 2020.

The Stroke CDE Working Group and Oversight Committee are supported by the NINDS CDE Team.
