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

| Physical Activity Intervention | Individualized baseline counseling and guided goal setting to increase physical activity gradually to at least 150 minutes/week of moderate intensity, with a 12-month follow-up via postal mail of 14 additional counseling contacts generated by responses to a physical activity questionnaire and individually tailored computer-generated expert system feedback messages for physical activity based on stages of the motivational readiness for change model | None | None | 29 | 116 | 0 | 116 | View |
