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

Event Groups
| Title | Description | Deaths # Affected | Deaths # At Risk | Serious # Affected | Serious # At Risk | Other # Affected | Other # At Risk | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Urinary Balloon Catheter Only | A urinary balloon catheter will be placed through the cervix into the lower uterine segment and the bulb inflated with 40ml of saline. The catheter will be taped to the patient's thigh and placed under traction using a liter bag of saline. The catheter will be deflated and removed after 6 hours. If spontaneously expelled from the uterus, time of expulsion will be noted. Six hours after insertion of catheter, a digital exam will be performed and Bishop score recorded. If no active labor at time of catheter removal or expulsion, standardized protocol of oxytocin will commence. Labor management will be at the discretion of the physician. Urinary Balloon Catheter: Pre-induction cervical ripening using a urinary balloon catheter device. | None | None | 0 | 35 | 0 | 35 | View |
| Prepadil Only | Prepidil gel will be inserted into the vaginal fornix according to manufacturer's direction. No oxytocin or other intervention will commence until 6 hours after insertion of gel. Six hours after insertion of gel, digital exam will be performed and Bishop score recorded. If no active labor 6 hours after the administration of gel, standardized protocol of oxytocin will commence. Labor management will be at the discretion of the physician. Dinoprostone Gel: Pre-induction cervical ripening using dinoprostone gel in the vagina. | None | None | 0 | 31 | 0 | 31 | View |
| Combined Urinary Catheter & Prepadil Gel | A urinary balloon catheter will be placed through the cervix into the lower uterine segment and the bulb inflated with 40ml of saline. The catheter will be taped to the patient's thigh and placed under traction using a liter bag of saline. Prepidil gel will be inserted through the catheter into the lower uterine segment, in a dose equivalent to manufacturer's recommendation. No oxytocin or other intervention will commence until 6 hours after insertion of the catheter and administration of prepidil gel (even if catheter is spontaneously expelled). After 6 hours, digital exam will be performed and Bishop score recorded. If no active labor, standardized protocol of oxytocin will commence. Urinary Balloon Catheter Device and Dinoprostone Gel: Pre-induction cervical ripening using dinoprostone gel injected through a urinary balloon catheter placed in the lower uterine segment. | None | None | 1 | 36 | 0 | 36 | View |
