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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Misoprostol Group | 25mcg of misoprostol per vagina every 4hours per the standard hospital protocol. Once the cervix becomes favorable or if the patient is in active labor, or if there is no progress for 24 hours, misoprostol administration will be discontinued. Further management of labor will depend on the labor team. (25mcg tablets are not available commercially; a 100mcg table is cut into fourths by the hospital pharmacist.) | 0 | None | 0 | 100 | 0 | 100 | View |
| Misoprostol and Foley Bulb Group | 25mcg of misoprostol per vagina every 4hours per the standard hospital protocol. In addition, a foley bulb will be inserted digitally or by direct visualization with the use of a sterile speculum. The foley will be inserted through the internal os and filled with 60cc of normal saline. The catheter will be taped to the patient's inner thigh under gentle traction. When the foley bulb has fallen out (spontaneous expulsion), further management of labor depends on the labor team. If this does not occur, the catheter will be deflated and removed after 24 hours. Oxytocin will be initiated in those patients who were not in labor after expulsion or removal of the catheter. | 0 | None | 0 | 100 | 0 | 100 | View |
