Participant Level Mapping

Expand
  1. After adding the project, you can move to the ‘Fields and Events Mapping’ page by clicking the Next button.

  2. Map REDCap variables (on the left) obtained from the 'data dictionary' to OpenSpecimen (on the right) as shown below.

Custom field

For example: if the field name is 'redcap_age' in the custom form the use: participant.extensionDetail.attrsMap.redcap_age

Event and Visit Level Mapping

Expand
  1. Like 'Participant Level Mapping', map visits fields for the REDCap project as shown below.

...

  2. Additionally, you can map events for the REDCap project, as shown below.

...

  2. Those events from REDCap which are not mapped can create unwanted, unplanned events in OpenSpecimen. To avoid this, click on the 'Ignore Unmapped Events’ checkbox as shown above in the red box.

Advance Features

Add the list of forms/fields separated by comma, tab, or newline.

Records Inclusion Rule

Expand
  1. The user can define certain conditions to synchronize specific REDCap records to OpenSpecimen. Once applied, the system will ignore all other records that don’t satisfy the criteria irrespective of being mapped to the participant or visit field.

  2. The expression is formed using REDCap variables obtained from the 'data dictionary'.

  3. The example shown below will only fetch the records of female participants who are 18 years or older from REDCap.

...

  2. The example show below will only fetch the records where the eligibility has value either ‘eligible, needs scheduled' or 'eligible, scheduled’.

Forms Exclusion List

Expand
  1. The user can define the list of forms to exclude for synchronization irrespective of being mapped to participant or visit field.

  2. If the user provides the list to the ‘Forms Exclusion list’ text box, then all the forms will be synchronized except the forms mentioned on the list.

...

Fields Exclusion/Inclusion List

Expand
  1. Like ‘Forms Exclusion List’, the user can also define the list of fields to either include or exclude for synchronization. The user can’t define both the parameters at once.

  2. If the user provides the list to the ‘Field Exclusion list’ text box, then all the fields will be synchronized except the fields mentioned on the list. On the other hand, only specified fields will be synchronized if the user provides the list to the ‘Field Inclusion list’.

...

  1. Image Added

To include or exclude a form/field use the variable name of the form/field from REDCap.

Data Dictionary for Fields and Events Mapping

Expand
Info
  • Add the list of fields/forms separated by a comma, tab, or newline.

  • During participant and visit fields mapping, REDCap variables should be on the left side, whereas OpenSpecimen variables should be on the right side.

  • For Field Exclusion List and Field Inclusion List, the user can define only one of the parameters at a time.

Field Name

Mandatory?

Supported study type

Description

Participant Fields Mapping

No

Classical/Longitudinal

Specifies the list of OpenSpecimen participant fields that are mapped to their respective REDCap fields.

For example, rcRecordId=ppid,dob=participant.birthDate

Visit Fields Mapping

No

Classical/Longitudinal

Specifies the list of OpenSpecimen visit fields which are mapped to their respective REDCap fields.

For example, visit_label=eventLable,visit_site=site,visit_date=visitDate

Records Inclusion Rule

No

Classical/Longitudinal

Defines condition/s to synchronize specific REDCap records to OpenSpecimen.

The expression is formed using REDCap variables obtained from the 'data dictionary'.

For example, to fetch the records of female participants who are 18 years old or older we can use following expression:

#sex == 'Female' and #yearBetween(#dob, #regDate) >= 18

Form Exclusion List

No

Classical/Longitudinal

Defines the list of forms to be excluded for synchronization irrespective of being mapped to participant or visit field.

For examples, Follow_up_year_1,Follow_up_year_2

Fields Inclusion List

No

Classical/Longitudinal

Defines the list of fields to be included for synchronization.

For examples, enrollment_date, consent_date

Fields Exclusion List

No

Classical/Longitudinal

Defines the list of fields to be excluded for synchronization irrespective of being mapped to participant or visit field.

Events Mapping

No

Longitudinal

Specifies the list of OpenSpecimen events which are mapped to their respective REDCap events.

Ignore Unmapped Events

No

Longitudinal

Checkbox fields that can be ‘ticked’ to ignore the unmapped events of the REDCap. This prevents the creation of unwanted, unplanned events in OpenSpecimen.
