Multiple Study Types #5

Open dih-cdisc opened 1 year ago

dih-cdisc commented 1 year ago

Should we allow for multiple study types (attribute studyType be a List of Codes rather than a single code) for the Study Class?

cupkes commented 1 year ago

This is an interesting idea. There seems to be an argument for multiple study types, or the idea of supporting a study that could be considered to "fall into" the realm of more than one study type.

@dih-cdisc (this info comes from the Planning meeting). Can you provide more details? We need a firm decision yes/no (we need multiple study types). If yes, could you provide more info.

What are study types? Can you give examples?
Does this mean trial type?
What are the other kinds of studies?
Are their sub-studies? Is this what is meant?
Is this something about umbrella, basket, etc studies?
Does additional study types require extra classes or is this just a categorization attribute?

If this still needs more discussion should we remove it from the Product Backlog?

Study Type is defined in the CT as C142175 Study Type Classification. It is "The nature of the investigation for which study information is being collected. (After clinicaltrials.gov)" and has a code list of values C99077:

INTERVENTIONAL
OBSERVATIONAL
PATIENT REGISTRY

Should we allow for multiple values? My feeling is not, but want to check @EMuhlbradt @czwickl

Determined that we should probably stick with a single code. Moved to Icebox
