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 |

| Social Norming | In this arm, rates of blood pressure control across all patients with hypertension cared for by each PCP were obtained from a system-wide performance dashboard, and reports were generated that displayed the physician's hypertension control rates compared to their peers. To ensure PCPs were compared to targets that they could reasonably attain, a different comparison was used based on the PCP's current rate of hypertension control. If the PCP's rates were below the practice average, the practice average was used for comparison. If the PCP's rate was above the practice average, the rate of the top performer in the practice was used. Adverse events were collected for patients only. | 0 | None | 0 | 173 | 0 | 173 | View |
| Pharmacist E-Detailing | In this arm, PCPs received individual feedback and recommendations generated by a clinical pharmacist delivered as a message through the EHR. Eligible patients with an upcoming (target) visit with their PCP were identified using EHR data, as above. A clinical pharmacist reviewed each patient's chart and generated a personalized recommendation for how to modify the specific patient's antihypertensive regimen based on clinical practice guidelines. Adverse events were collected for patients only. | 0 | None | 0 | 143 | 0 | 143 | View |
| Control | No intervention will be provided to physicians in the control arm. Adverse events were collected for patients only. | 0 | None | 0 | 150 | 0 | 150 | View |
