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 |

| Patients Seen at Audit-and-feedback ED Sites During Intervention Period | All patients seen in the EDs undergoing the audit-and-feedback intervention will be considered to have been exposed to the intervention. For this adverse event reporting section, we are reporting ED patient-visits during the intervention period at intervention sites. Because this study was not randomized, a more accurate assessment of adverse events would require a difference-in-differences analysis across the baseline and intervention periods while controlling for baseline differences between intervention and control sites. Such an analysis is described in our statistical analysis plan and will be reported in our published paper. | 141 | None | 1593 | 23164 | 11 | 23164 | View |
| Patients Seen at Control ED Sites During the Intervention Period | All patients seen in the EDs designated as control sites will be considered to have been part of the control group. For this adverse event reporting section, we are reporting ED patient-visits during the intervention period at control sites. Because this study was not randomized, a more accurate assessment of adverse events would require a difference-in-differences analysis across the baseline and intervention periods while controlling for baseline differences between intervention and control sites. Such an analysis is described in our statistical analysis plan and will be reported in our published paper. | 176 | None | 1863 | 28835 | 27 | 28835 | View |
