Adverse Events Module
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

| Treatment 1; Dexamethasone | Swallowing difficulty. Two measurement surveys were used: The Dysphagia Short Questionnaire: An Instrument for Evaluation of Dysphagia (DSQ) and Bazaz Dysphagia Scale (Bazaz). The DSQ and Bazaz determine levels of dysphagia over time after anterior cervical spine surgery. A DSQ score is calculated by summing up the points given for each item to a maximum of 18 points, where lower scores represent milder symptoms (zero indicates no symptoms) and vice versa. For the Bazaz score, symptoms are measured as 'none', 'mild', 'moderate', or 'severe'. Zero indicates none or no symptoms, 1 indicates mild, 2 indicates moderate, 3 indicates severe. Numbers of subjects reporting any difficulty swallowing (had to have a score of at least 1) at various time points are reported. | 0 | None | 0 | 33 | 0 | 33 | View |
