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

| Rivastigmine 5-cm2 Transdermal Patch | Only patients at risk for developing POD were considered for recruitment. That risk was based on the presence of at least one of five predictive factors: (1) preoperative cognitive impairment (Mini mental state examination (MMSE)\<24); (2) advanced age (\>70 years); (3) preoperative use of psychoactive drugs; (4) history of prior delirium; and/or (5) severe illness or comorbidity.

| Placebo Patch | Only patients at risk for developing POD were considered for recruitment. That risk was based on the presence of at least one of five predictive factors: (1) preoperative cognitive impairment (Mini mental state examination (MMSE)\<24); (2) advanced age (\>70 years); (3) preoperative use of psychoactive drugs; (4) history of prior delirium; and/or (5) severe illness or comorbidity.
