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

| Immediate Hearing Aid Treatment: Blast-exposed With PTSD | This group consisted of blast-exposed Veterans with auditory complaints but normal audiometric test results. These Veterans were comorbid for significant PTSD. They were fitted with open-fit hearing aids that provided mild high-frequency amplification and were monitored for 6 months. | 0 | None | 0 | 18 | 0 | 18 | View |
| Delayed Hearing Aid Treatment: Blast-exposed Only | This group consisted of blast-exposed Veterans with auditory complaints but normal audiometric test results. These Veterans were negative for significant PTSD. They were fitted with hearing aids after a 6-month delay. Their performance was monitored 6-months pre-fitting and for the 6 months after the fitting. | 0 | None | 0 | 7 | 0 | 7 | View |
| Non-treatment Diagnostic Testing: Blast-exposed Only | This group consisted of Veterans who completed the same pre-treatment diagnostic testing as the three treatment groups but were not enrolled in the hearing aid treatment protocol. This group consisted of blast-exposed Veterans with auditory complaints but normal audiometric test results. They were negative for significant PTSD. | 0 | None | 0 | 45 | 0 | 45 | View |
| Non-treatment Diagnostic Testing: PTSD Only | This group consisted of Veterans who completed the same pre-treatment diagnostic testing as the three treatment groups but were not enrolled in the hearing aid treatment protocol. This group was negative for blast-exposure and hearing loss but positive for significant PTSD. | 0 | None | 0 | 19 | 0 | 19 | View |

| Non-treatment Diagnostic Testing: Normal | This group consisted of Veterans who completed the same pre-treatment diagnostic testing as the three treatment groups but were not enrolled in the hearing aid treatment protocol. This group included neurotypical Veterans with normal hearing and were negative for blast-exposure and PTSD. | 0 | None | 0 | 82 | 0 | 82 | View |
