What is the difference between SDTM and ADaM?

 Two important standards are supported by CDISC: SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model) and ADaM. (Analysis Data Model). Although the adoption of CDISC standards may increase development costs, you can reduce those costs by choosing the appropriate technology and implementation strategy. SDTM and ADaM datasets in the adoption of CDISC standards not only simplifies procedures but also stimulates innovation, efficiency, betters data quality, reduces costs, and boosts predictability.

In comparison to SDTM and SEND, CDISC’s Analysis Data Model (ADaM) is a little different. Although the model is less prescriptive, it still comprises a core model and an implementation guide. Within specific limitations established by the model, more variables may be added. This provides a level of standardization that enables it to be easily understood by reviewers, while giving it the flexibility to be used for any type of study.
