The purpose of the NINDS Common Data Elements (CDEs) Project is to standardize the collection of investigational data in order to facilitate comparison of results across studies and more effectively aggregate information into significant metadata results. The goal of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) CDE Project specifically is to develop data standards for clinical research within the neurological community. Central to this Project is the creation of common definitions and data sets so that information (data) is consistently captured and recorded across studies. To harmonize data collected from clinical studies, the NINDS Office of Clinical Research is spearheading the effort to develop CDEs in neuroscience. This Web site outlines these data standards and provides accompanying tools to help investigators and research teams collect and record standardized clinical data. The Institute still encourages creativity and uniqueness by allowing investigators to independently identify and add their own critical variables. The CDEs have been identified through review of the documentation of numerous studies funded by NINDS, review of the literature and regulatory requirements, and review of other Institute''s common data efforts. Other data standards such as those of the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC), the Clinical Data Acquisition Standards Harmonization (CDASH) Initiative, ClinicalTrials.gov, the NINDS Genetics Repository, and the NIH Roadmap efforts have also been followed to ensure that the NINDS CDEs are comprehensive and as compatible as possible with those standards. CDEs now available: * General (CDEs that cross diseases) Updated Feb. 2011! * Congenital Muscular Dystrophy * Epilepsy (Updated Sept 2011) * Friedreich''s Ataxia * Parkinson''s Disease * Spinal Cord Injury * Stroke * Traumatic Brain Injury CDEs in development: * Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Public review Sept 15 through Nov 15) * Frontotemporal Dementia * Headache * Huntington''s Disease * Multiple Sclerosis * Neuromuscular Diseases ** Adult and pediatric working groups are being finalized and these groups will focus on: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, Myasthenia Gravis, Myotonic Dystrophy, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy The following tools are available through this portal: * CDE Catalog - includes the universe of all CDEs. Users are able to search the full universe to isolate a subset of the CDEs (e.g., all stroke-specific CDEs, all pediatric epilepsy CDEs, etc.) and download details about those CDEs. * CRF Library - (a.k.a., Library of Case Report Form Modules and Guidelines) contains all the CRF Modules that have been created through the NINDS CDE Project as well as various guideline documents. Users are able to search the library to find CRF Modules and Guidelines of interest. * Form Builder - enables users to start the process of assembling a CRF or form by allowing them to choose the CDEs they would like to include on the form. This tool is intended to assist data managers and database developers to create data dictionaries for their study forms.

Network evaluating consensus-based common data elements (CDE) for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and psychological health (TBI-CDE, www.commondataelements.ninds.nih.gov/TBI.aspx) while extensively phenotyping a cohort of TBI patients across the injury spectrum from concussion to coma. Institutions that participate in the TBI Network will be able to track the outcomes of patients through a 3, 6 and 12-month followup program and compare outcomes with other participating institutions. For the three acute care centers, patients were enrolled that presented to the emergency department within 24 hours of head injury and required computed tomography (CT). For the rehabilitation center, referrals from acute hospitals were enrolled. Patients were consented to participate in components: clinical profile; blood draws for measurement of proteomic and genomic markers; 3T MRI within 2 weeks; three-month Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E); and six-month TBI-CDE Core outcome assessments. A web-enabled database, imaging repository, and biospecimen bank was developed using the TBI-CDE recommendations. A total of 605 patients were enrolled. Of these subjects, 88% had a GCS 13-15, 5% had a GCS 9-12, and 7% had a GCS of 8 or less. Three-month GOS-E''s were obtained for 78% of the patients. Comprehensive 6-month outcome measures, including PTSD assessment, are ongoing until September 2011. Blood specimens were collected from 450 patients. Initial CTs for 605 patients and 235 patients with 3T MRI studies were transferred to an imaging repository. The TRACK TBI Network will provide qualified institutions access to a web-based version of key forms in tracking TBI outcomes for Quality Improvement and institutional benchmarking.

http://www.tbi-impact.org/?p=impact%2Fcalc&btn_calc=GO+TO+CALCULATOR

A calculator that calculates the prediction models for 6 month outcome after Traumatic Brain Injury. Based on extensive prognostic analysis the IMPACT investigators have developed prognostic models for predicting 6 month outcome in adult patients with moderate to severe head injury (Glasgow Coma Scale <=12) on admission. By entering the characteristics into the calculator, the models will provide an estimate of the expected outcome at 6 months. We present three models of increasing complexity (Core, Core + CT, Core + CT + Lab). These models were developed and validated in collaboration with the CRASH trial collaborators on large numbers of individual patient data (the IMPACT database). The models discriminate well, and are particularly suited for purposes of classification and characterization of large cohorts of patients. Extreme caution is required when applying the estimated prognosis to individual patients. The sequential prediction models may be used as an aid to estimate 6 month outcome in patients with severe or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the prediction rule can only complement, never replace, clinical judgment and can therefore be used only as a decision-support system.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on June 26,2022. A unique clinical trial network open to studies of more than 400 neurological diseases, allowing investigators to more efficiently pursue new therapies based on scientific opportunity. The network has a centralized IRB serving 25 sites, which will allow trials to move faster, without the need to coordinate IRBs at each individual site. It is not necessary to be part of the NeuroNEXT infrastructure to propose and conduct a study within the network. The Network for Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials, or NeuroNEXT, was created to conduct studies of treatments for neurological diseases through partnerships with academia, private foundations, and industry. The network is designed to expand the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke''s (NINDS) capability to test promising new therapies, increase the efficiency of clinical trials before embarking on larger studies, and respond quickly as new opportunities arise to test promising treatments for people with neurological disorders. The NeuroNEXT program aims to: * Provide a robust, standardized, and accessible infrastructure to facilitate rapid development and implementation of protocols in neurological disorders affecting adult and/or pediatric populations. The network includes multiple Clinical Sites, one Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) and one Data Coordinating Center (DCC). * Support scientifically sound, possibly biomarker-informed, Phase II clinical trials that provide data for clear go/no-go decisions. * Energize and mobilize federal, industry, foundations and patient advocacy partners by leveraging existing relationships between NINDS and NeuroNEXT to organize high impact Phase II clinical trials for neurological disorders. * Expand the pool of experienced clinical investigators and research staff who are prepared to be leaders of multicenter clinical research trials. * Working with NeuroNEXT is a cooperative venture between NINDS, the NeuroNEXT network and the applicant.
