All variables available in eCAP can be included in the SIDIAP, as long as they meet minimum quality standards.
For each variable included, an analysis is carried out to try to ensure that it is widely distributed territorially and over time, and all the available synonymous Codes are homogenised under a single Code.
The existing variables that can be extended according to needs can be classified as follows:
- Clinical Variables
- Scales
- Actions
- Smoking
Clinical variables
Variables collected at the consultation by the professionals.
The variables included so far have the following structure:
Variable |
Description |
Code |
SIDIAP code of the variable |
Date |
Date of registration of the variable |
Value |
Value of the variable on the date of registration |
Scales
Questionnaires and assessments made during the course of the clinical history.
Scales include:
- Cognitive scales (e.g. LOBO, Mine-Mental, Pfeifer).
- Alcohol scales (e.g. AUDIT, CAGE, CRAFFT, MALTA)

This indicates the test question or if it is the final result. |
Date |
Date on which the valuation was carried out |
Value |
