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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline Antimicrobial Stewardship | Baseline audit of antimicrobial orders with feedback to providers by the antimicrobial stewardship team. | 4 | None | 0 | 133 | 0 | 133 | View |
| Procalcitonin-Guided Antimicrobial Stewardship | In addition to baseline audit of antimicrobial orders, the stewardship team will additionally recommend procalcitonin (PCT) testing and treatment per algorithm. PCT will be used in conjunction with clinical status and exam, and results of radiographic and laboratory studies, to make medical decisions about antibiotic therapy. | 3 | None | 0 | 137 | 0 | 137 | View |
