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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Breast skin after mastectomy will be clinically examined by the surgeon to determine if there is adequate blood flow to the skin to allow safe coverage of the breast implant. No treatment, including dye study, ointment, or vacuum dressing will be applied to the breast after implant placement. No treatment: Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 1 will include no treatment. | 0 | None | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | View |
| Group 2 | Breast skin after mastectomy will be clinically examined by the surgeon, and nitroglycerin (NTG) cream will be applied to the breast skin after implant placement. This cream does not have systemic effects but may improve blood flow to the remnant breast skin after mastectomy. Nitroglycerin: Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 2,4,6, and 8 will include Nitroglycerin cream. | 0 | None | 0 | 4 | 0 | 4 | View |
| Group 3 | Breast skin after mastectomy will be clinically examined by the surgeon, and an incisional vacuum-assisted dressing (iVAC) will be placed over the breast incisions after implant placement, which may improve blood flow to the skin and help wound healing. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy/ Wound VAC: Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 3,4,7,and 8 will receive iVAC therapy. | 0 | None | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | View |
| Group 4 | Breast skin after mastectomy will be clinically examined by the surgeon, and both NTG cream will be applied to the breast skin and an iVAC will be placed over the incisions after implant placement. Nitroglycerin: Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 2,4,6, and 8 will include Nitroglycerin cream. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy/ Wound VAC: Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 3,4,7,and 8 will receive iVAC therapy. | 0 | None | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 | View |
| Group 5 | Blood flow to breast skin after mastectomy will be examined using a fluorescent dye study called fluorescent angiography (FA) to determine if there is adequate blood flow to the skin to allow safe coverage of the breast implant. No further intervention will be used after implant placement. Fluorescent Angiography with indocyanine-green (not to exceed 5mg/kg): Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 5,6,7,and 8 will receive angiography. | 0 | None | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | View |
| Group 6 | Blood flow to breast skin breast skin will be examined using FA, and NTG cream will be applied to the skin after the implant is placed. Nitroglycerin: Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 2,4,6, and 8 will include Nitroglycerin cream. Fluorescent Angiography with indocyanine-green (not to exceed 5mg/kg): Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 5,6,7,and 8 will receive angiography. | 0 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | View |
| Group 7 | Blood flow to breast skin breast skin will be examined using FA, and an iVAC will be placed over breast skin incisions after the implant is placed. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy/ Wound VAC: Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 3,4,7,and 8 will receive iVAC therapy. Fluorescent Angiography with indocyanine-green (not to exceed 5mg/kg): Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 5,6,7,and 8 will receive angiography. | 0 | None | 0 | 4 | 1 | 4 | View |
| Group 8 | Blood flow to breast skin breast skin will be examined using FA, and both NTG cream and iVAC will be used as interventions after the implant is placed. Nitroglycerin: Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 2,4,6, and 8 will include Nitroglycerin cream. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy/ Wound VAC: Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 3,4,7,and 8 will receive iVAC therapy. Fluorescent Angiography with indocyanine-green (not to exceed 5mg/kg): Patient's will be randomized into one of eight groups and receive the intended treatment specified for that particular group. Groups 5,6,7,and 8 will receive angiography. | 0 | None | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | View |
