Adverse Events Module

Adverse Events Module

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

NCT ID: NCT02950558
Description: The protocol incorporated FDA adverse event definitions and Good Clinical Practices.
Frequency Threshold: 0
Time Frame: Subjects were contacted daily by phone for the first five days after surgery (which corresponded to the duration of ambulatory ropivacaine pump use for subjects in the experimental group). Medical chart records were reviewed for adverse events for 3 months following the surgery.
Study: NCT02950558
Study Brief: Anesthesia for Pain After Ankle Fracture Surgery
