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

| Povidone-iodine Irrigation | Povidone-iodine irrigation: Povidone-iodine (PVI) is an antiseptic solution consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone with water, iodide, and 1% available iodine. It has bactericidal ability against a large array of pathogens, including those pathogens which commonly cause postoperative IAA in children with perforated appendicitis. 1% PVI will be used. Once the appendix has been removed and hemostasis ensured, the surgeon will perform the irrigation with 10cc/kg (minimum 100ml and maximum 1000ml) of 1% PVI. After completing the irrigation, the surgeon will suction out all intra-abdominal fluid into a suction canister. | 0 | None | 0 | 50 | 0 | 50 | View |
| No Irrigation | No irrigation: Patients allocated to the control group will not undergo intra-abdominal irrigation. | 0 | None | 0 | 50 | 0 | 50 | View |
