In clinical trials, we collect certain data at planned intervals
The planned intervals are called 'visits'
Each planned visit will have a specific target day on which the collection has to be made in an ideal scenario
This 'planned day' is generally called as 'target day' for that visit
Sometimes, it is fine to collect the data around the target day by plus or minus a few prespecified number of days
That is, instead of a target day, the collection can be made in a 'target window'
Each window will have a target day, beginning timepoint, and an ending timepoint
Any collection made in the time window for a specific time point (visit) will be analyzed under that visit
ADaM implementation
CDISC ADaM standard allows for visit windowing
There are standard variables available to use when visit windowing is required
AWTARGET is used to capture the target day for the visit
AWLO is used to capture the allowed beginning timepoint for that visit
AWHI is used to capture the allowed ending timepoint for that visit
AWU is used to capture the visit window units (days, months, years etc)
