Request: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Division of Transplantation requests approval for non-substantive changes to the Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database (SCTOD) Collection (OMB 0915-0310 expiration date 08/31/2025).
Purpose: The purpose of this request is to request minor revisions to the pre-transplant data collection to maintain current and effective data collection. This memo explains the changes and supporting rationale.
Changes: HRSA is requesting OMB approval to make minor changes to the pre-transplant data collection. The request is to revise seven pre-transplant variables to include updates to the classifications of diseases found in response options as suggested by the World Health Organization (or similar international consensus organizations) and reflect the feedback from experts in the transplant community. These changes include new response options, and updated disease nomenclature for existing response options. While we are adding some response options, the number and content of questions are not increasing. Individual respondents will only answer one or two of these questions with updated response options. The revised response options will lead to more accurate information. See the “Change Summary” tab of Attachment 1, rows 2-8, for more details.
“Specify Myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassifiable (MDS-U)” was asked twice during pre-transplant information collection; the first time it was asked in reference to the initial diagnosis of MDS, and the second time it was asked in reference to potentially transformed MDS. Both questions will be removed from the form entirely. Per recommendations from the World Health Organization (or similar international consensus organizations), this disease categorization is obsolete. See the “Change Summary” tab of Attachment 1, rows 9-10 for more details.
Time Sensitivity: The SCTOD data collection changes must be completed in a timely manner to fulfill C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program requirements. These changes are considered non-substantive. Approval of these changes is needed by August 15, 2024, to implement the changes in the data collection system during the scheduled Fall 2024 release. If this timeline is not met, the next release of data collection forms is scheduled approximately three months later.
Burden: The changes requested to update disease classifications/nomenclature only affect response options for seven questions without the addition of new questions. Although response options were updated for seven separate questions, individual respondents will only complete one or two of these questions depending upon the recipient's disease. These changes may improve response accuracy and clarify the choices for respondents. They will reduce the need to provide write-in responses and will not affect the response burden. Therefore, the changes are non-substantive and do not substantially change the estimated reporting burden for patients with these indications.
The removal of two questions is expected to reduce the burden slightly, but not significantly enough to adjust the burden hours.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES FOR STEM CELL THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES DATABASE VARIBLES.
