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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arm 1, Control Arm (Usual Care) | Patients undergo QL block before surgery and receive standard of care multimodal pain control after surgery. | 3 | None | 10 | 52 | 39 | 52 | View |
| Arm 2, Experimental Arm (2nd QL-Block) | Patients undergo QL block before surgery and receive multimodal pain control. Patients then undergo a second QL block on day 4 after surgery and continue to receive standard of care. | 3 | None | 10 | 54 | 31 | 54 | View |
