Record

Corticosteroid episode CR  PR    episode   

At baseline, details for the most recent or ongoing corticosteroid usage must be given in an instance of this record. At registry updates, a previously ongoing episode should be updated and any further episodes added as additional instances.

The stop date should be the date of the last administration during this episode.

Corticosteroid administration days on CR  PR 

Integer item specifying the number of days in a row the individual has been taking the corticosteroid. In combination with the subsequent item Corticosteroid administration days off, it specifies the administration schedule. The following table shows examples for various administration frequencies, where the column "Days on" contains the value of this item and "Days off" contains the value of the item Corticosteroid administration days off:

Administration frequency Days on Days off
Daily 1 0
Every other day 1 1
Weekend dosing 2 5
10 days on/10 days off 10 10
20 days on/10 days off 20 10
etc.

For daily administration, value of Corticosteroid administration days on must be 1. Registries should offer a predefined list of options for the most common administration frequencies (for example those shown in the table above) which are automatically mapped to the according values of the items Corticosteroid administration days on and Corticosteroid administration days off, while displaying number input fields only to cover further cases.
