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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Usual Care | Usual care, meaning that the treating physician will be free to treat the patient in any way he or she sees fit, including utilizing invasive mechanical ventilation as they wish. | 46 | None | 114 | 261 | 0 | 0 | View |
| Sigh Breaths | Sigh breaths consisting of a Tidal volume (VT) that produces a plateau pressure (Pplat) of 35 cmH2O (or 40 cmH2O in patients with BMIs \> 35 or in patients with moderate or severe abdominal distension from ascites, blood and/or ileum, or prone patients). The sigh breaths will be delivered once every 6 minutes, as part of usual invasive mechanical ventilation.
