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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Usual Care Group | Usual care consists of patient's receiving a Heart Failure Handbook before hospital discharge + verbal education delivered by multiple care providers (including a group education class at 1 site). The handbook is consistent; however, verbal education may vary between care providers based on their knowledge and time available, and perceived patient needs | 42 | None | 232 | 377 | 0 | 377 | View |
| Video Education Group | Will receive usual care, plus will watch short videos from Wellflix, Inc.: 1) "Danger Signs of Heart Failure" videos (via iPAD) on dyspnea and fatigue; and 2) "Danger Signs edema" video. Each video describes how to recognize if the patient's signs/symptoms are new or worsening and how to self-manage at home via diet, fluid management, and physical activity instructions. Danger Signs of Heart Failure Videos are short videos (less than 3 minutes each). The videos contain educational information on (a) recognition of dyspnea, fatigue, and edema; and (b) self-management (based on diet, fluid management, and activities) | 40 | None | 242 | 369 | 0 | 369 | View |
