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

| Pharmacology Arm - Bivalirudin | To establish the safety and efficacy of the use of bivalirudin in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing a primary angioplasty strategy by showing that compared to unfractionated heparin plus routine use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors, bivalirudin (with use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors reserved for angioplasty complications) results in: 1. reduced rates of major bleeding events at 30 days 2. similar rates of major adverse ischemic cardiac events at 30 days 3. reduced rates of the composite of major adverse ischemic cardiac events + major bleeding at 30 days. Bivalirudin: Bivalirudin bolus of 0.75 mg/kg IV, followed by an infusion of 1.75 mg/kg/h as soon as logistically feasible (ideally in the emergency room). Unfractionated heparin: 60 U/kg of IV heparin, started as soon as possible (ideally in the emergency room). | 102 | None | 397 | 1800 | 81 | 1800 | View |

| Stent Arm - Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent | To establish the safety and efficacy of the paclitaxel-eluting TAXUS™ stent by showing that compared to an otherwise identical bare metal EXPRESS2™ stent, the TAXUS™ stent results in: 1. reduced rates of target lesion revascularization for ischemia at 1 year 2. similar rates of death, reinfarction, stroke or stent thrombosis at 1 year 3. lower rates of analysis segment binary angiographic restenosis at 13 months Bare metal stent: Uncoated bare metal stent Paclitaxel-eluting stent: slow rate-release paclitaxel-eluting stent | 123 | None | 473 | 2257 | 122 | 2257 | View |
