For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events
| Title | Description | Deaths # Affected | Deaths # At Risk | Serious # Affected | Serious # At Risk | Other # Affected | Other # At Risk | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No-Contact Control | Subjects in the no-contact control arm will receive no additional pro-vaccination intervention beyond the health system's normal efforts. Although some patients are currently targeted for flu vaccination encouragement due to a conventional non-ML assessment that they are at high risk for complications, these patients are not told that they are at high risk or that they have been targeted. | 25 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | View |
| Reminder Control | Subjects in the reminder control arm will receive messages reminding them to get the flu shot without being advised of their risk status. Reminder: Mailed letter, short message service (SMS) text, and/or patient portal message | 22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | View |
| High Risk Only | Subjects in this treatment arm will receive messages telling them they have been identified to be at high risk for flu complications, without specifying how or why the health system believes this to be the case. Reminder: Mailed letter, short message service (SMS) text, and/or patient portal message Risk reduction: Mailed letter, SMS, and/or patient portal message | 24 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | View |
| High Risk With Explanation Based on Medical Records | Subjects in this treatment arm will receive messages telling them they have been identified to be at high risk for flu complications via review of their medical records and will be provided a human-understandable short list of the top factors from their medical record that explain their risk. Reminder: Mailed letter, short message service (SMS) text, and/or patient portal message Risk reduction: Mailed letter, SMS, and/or patient portal message Medical records-based recommendation: Mailed letter, SMS, and/or patient portal message | 19 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | View |
| High Risk With Explanation Based on Algorithm | Subjects in this treatment arm will receive messages telling them they have been identified to be at high risk for flu complications via analysis of their medical records by a computer algorithm and will be provided a human-understandable short list of the top factors from their medical record that explain their risk. Reminder: Mailed letter, short message service (SMS) text, and/or patient portal message Risk reduction: Mailed letter, SMS, and/or patient portal message Medical records-based recommendation: Mailed letter, SMS, and/or patient portal message Algorithm-based recommendation: Mailed letter, SMS, and/or patient portal message | 17 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | View |
