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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Risperidone | Likely side effects include weight gain, muscle stiffness, sedation and tiredness. Clarification: We did not note any serious side effects with either drug. We reported any adverse event that is found in greater than 5% of the participants in each group. Frequency of adverse events do not equal the fact that they are serious adverse events at any individual level. | None | None | 0 | 32 | 8 | 32 | View |
| Depakote or Divalproex Sodium | Likely side effects include gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach discomfort, weight gain, agitation and sedation, fatigue or tiredness. Clarification: We did not note any serious side effects with either drug. We reported any adverse event that is found in greater than 5% of the participants in each group. Frequency of adverse events do not equal the fact that they are serious adverse events at any individual level. | None | None | 0 | 33 | 10 | 33 | View |
