Hi All,

I was a bit confused by this. Since *DY variables can definitely be negative but apparently not zero this would imply that the day before 'Study Day 1' is 'Study day -1' (i.e. study days are rounded away from zero). Is this the case?

Thanks for any help!
Martin.

Hi Martin,

 

Per page 40 in the 3.1.2 implementation guide, your observation is correct. Study Day 1 is the "Subject Reference Start Date", so the day prior would be Study Day -1 (indicating one day before the DM RFSTDTC value). Study Day 0 does not exist, simply because it contains no semantic value given the assignment of Study Day 1 as the starting point.

 

Regards,

Tim

Thanks for the pointer! Can't say I like it, but I can understand the rationale given.

 

Cheers,

Martin.
