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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long-Acting Beta Blocker | Administer patient's routine oral long acting beta blocker on day of surgery (standard of care). | None | None | 2 | 31 | 16 | 31 | View |
| Esmolol | Replace patient's routine oral long-acting beta blocker on day of surgery with a bolus of 500 mcg/kg at start of surgery, followed by a 4 minute infusion at 50 mcg/kg/min, titrating up to a maximum of 300mcg/kg/min to maintain heart rate and SBP within specified thresholds during the length of surgery and continuing through 12 hours post-operatively. | None | None | 2 | 28 | 19 | 28 | View |
