RWD Lineage
To generate reliable RWD in SDTM for regulatory use, additional information is needed to audit source data and quantify the information loss and performance of data transformations to calculate error bounds. RWD Lineage, will be a standardized and comprehensive representation of source data containing lineage for each source patient data element that specifies either:
- The location of the element in the output analysis dataset (Positive Lineage).
- That the element was not used in the output analysis dataset (Negative Lineage).
Furthermore, RWD Lineage will be represented in a standard metadata model that can be used along with SDTM to support the use of RWD with SDTM. This standardization will allow lineage to be combined across disparate data sources and will enable the unification of downstream tools, workflows, and analytics for validation and audit activities. Visit the RWD Lineage Wiki for updates.
