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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional VAD Training (Patients) | Patients will receive traditional training for their VAD via a video produced by the VAD manufacturer. | 10 | None | 0 | 33 | 0 | 33 | View |
| Simulation-based VAD Training (Patients) | Patients will receive traditional training for their VAD via a video produced by the VAD manufacturer and then participate in simulation-based mastery learning for VAD management Simulation-based Mastery Learning (SBML): The SBML training group will first 1) watch the VAD video, then 2) participate in a SBML intervention using the simulator for a) driveline exit site sterile dressing changes; b) performing controller self-tests; c) changing power sources; d) troubleshooting emergent VAD-related malfunction; and e) recognizing specific signs and symptoms requiring immediate contact with the VAD team. | 10 | None | 0 | 36 | 0 | 36 | View |
