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

This arm tested the effect of combined financial incentives. | None | None | 0 | 19 | 0 | 19 | View |
| No Incentives (Control) | Physician participants in the control group did not receive any financial incentives. They received audit and feedback performance reports at the end of each performance period like the intervention groups. | None | None | 0 | 19 | 0 | 19 | View |
