Let’s now write a quick program to count the number of discrepancies per procedure in OC/OCRDC:
Remember to comment /**/ or ***comment here*; what the program does. It is a good clinical practice to document everything so anyone can read your program and make the necessary updates, if necessary.
proc sql;
connect to oracle(path=ocpath);
create table discr as select * from connection to oracle
(Select p.name, pd.test_order_sn detail, count(pd.test_order_sn) count, p.procedure_id procid
from discrepancy_management dm,
procedures p,
procedure_details pd
where dm.clinical_study_id=9999
and dm.procedure_id = p.procedure_id
and dm.procedure_detail_id=pd.procedure_detail_id
and p.PROCEDURE_VER_SN=pd.PROCEDURE_DETAIL_PROC_VER_SN
and dm.PROCEDURE_VER_SN=p.PROCEDURE_VER_SN
and dm.de_sub_TYPE_CODE=’MULTIVARIATE’
group by p.name, pd.test_order_sn, p.procedure_id
order by count(p.name)desc
);
/*document your code*/
proc sql;
connect to oracle(path=ocpath);
create table name as select * from connection to oracle
(select distinct p.procedure_id procid, p.name, pd.TEST_ORDER_SN detail
from procedures p,
procedure_details pd
where p.clinical_study_id= 9999 *replace with your studyid;
and p.procedure_status_code !=’R’
and p.procedure_id=pd.procedure_id
order by procid
);
quit;
/* merge # of discrepancies with name */
proc sort data=discr;
by procid;
run;
proc sort data=name;
by procid;
run;
data discname;
merge discr (in=d) name (in=n);
by procid;
if n;
run;
proc sort data=discname ;
by descending count ;
run;
/* print out */
proc print data=discname label;
var name numdisc percent numdcf;
label numdisc = ‘Number of discrepancies’
numdcf = ‘Number of DCFs’;
title “Number of discrepancies per Procedure”;
title2 “RA eClnica”;
run;
You could also export the report to Excel xls and have your DM / data manager review it.
Good luck and let me know if it was helpful.
