You can copy existing outcome measure records during abstraction to facilitate recording variations of attributes for the same measure.

How to Copy Outcome Measures

  1. Search for the trial of interest. For instructions, refer to Searching for Trials in PA.

  2. In the search results, click the NCI Trial Identifier link for that trial. The Trial Identification page appears.

  3. On the Trial Identification page, check out the trial. For instructions, refer to Checking In and Checking Out Trials. (This checkout step is optional for Super Abstractors.)

  4. On the Scientific Data menu, under Interventional Trial Design or Non-interventional Trial Design, click Outcome Measures. The Outcome Measures page displays one or more outcome measure records.

  5. In the Copy column for the record you want to copy, click the Copy icon (The Copy icon, which is a graphic representation of two overlapping web pages).
    The Add/Edit Outcome Measures page is displayed with the fields populated with information from the copied record.
  6. Enter the information for the outcome measure variation, and then click Save.
