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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ketamine Arm | Following surgery and extubation, patients will receive ketamine 0.5 mg/kg over 10 minutes followed by an infusion of 0.3 mg/kg/h for 2 hours 50 minutes. Ketamine: NMDA antagonist | 0 | None | 2 | 16 | 0 | 16 | View |
| Control Arm | Following surgery and extubation, patients will receive normal saline at an equal rate to that used in the ketamine arm. Normal saline: IV fluid acting as a placebo | 1 | None | 5 | 16 | 3 | 16 | View |
