Many temporal columns are stored as VARCHAR rather than typed dates, containing values like \"..MISSING..\" for nulls\n2. Several numeric measures (TRTDURD, DMDY) are also VARCHAR-typed\n3. All medical coding ID columns (ending in CD) contain only missing values\n4. The dataset has 306 subjects (adsl) with 1,191 adverse event records (ae)\n5. No foreign key relationships were detected between tables, though both share USUBJID" } ```
