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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed Lower-energy | Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients undergoing defibrillation received a fixed lower-energy regimen of 150 J for all shocks | None | None | 0 | 114 | 0 | 114 | View |
| Escalating Higher-energy | Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients undergoing defibrillation received an escalating higher-energy regimen beginning with 200 J, proceeding to 300 J for the second shock and 360 J for all remaining shocks | None | None | 0 | 107 | 0 | 107 | View |
