Background
The goal of the Common Data Elements (CDEs) are to provide investigators with a “universal language” to utilize within studies. The CDEs aim to enhance the field of neurologic research, as data can eventually be reviewed across multiple studies. The CDEs were designed within a comprehensive framework including element definitions presented in data dictionaries and manual of procedures, which have been coupled with a set of common data collection forms.
