= QA checks =

This page lists all QA checks currently defined for [[..|HICDEP 1.60]]. The attached `QA.csv` file also serves as data source for the QA sections in the articles describing the individual tables.

Checks added in so far have been collated from 3 sources: 
- CASCADE
- EPPICC FPV/DRV mergers
- PENTA Eurocoord merger
 
Checks on a table's additional fields have not been included at this stage 

Only a few checks for non-HICDEP tables, non-HICDEP fields in HICDEP tables and Study-specific checks 
have been included at this stage for demo/testing purposes.

== Error Codes ==

The error codes allow to unambiguously reference a certain problem with a given data set. When merging data from different cohorts, the data manager may report problems for instance as follows:

{{{
[ATC006] in tblART/ART_ID: there is no drug named 'XYZ' in the coding list
}}}

**Note**: the use of the error code alone is not sufficient to locate a problem since some of them are fairly generic.

Used like above, error codes can help to clearly communicate issues. This holds especially if the QA requirements are being checked by an automatic system.

== QA checks listed nowhere else ==

These are QA checks which are either not directly applicable to a specific table or to tables which are not (yet) part of HICDEP.
