Adverse Events Module
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

Event Groups
| Title | Description | Deaths # Affected | Deaths # At Risk | Serious # Affected | Serious # At Risk | Other # Affected | Other # At Risk | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anemia Treatment Group (AMG) | Patients diagnosed preoperatively as being anemic (defined as a Hgb \< 13.0 g/dL and MCV \< 100 fL, with a hematocrit between 30% and 39%, for males and females), who will receive an ESA (PROCRIT) and iron (Venofer) preoperatively. Iron sucrose: AMG patients will receive a standardized and well-accepted intravenous dose of 200 mg of iron sucrose (Venofer®) at -14 days and -7 days before their planned surgery, and if indicated, based upon laboratory testing on the day of their surgery (if patient has a Hgb \< 13.0 g/dL and hematocrit between 30% and 39%, for males and females). An additional dose will be given on postoperative day 2. Epoetin Alfa: AMG patients will receive a standardized and well-accepted subcutaneous dose of 40,000 IU of epoetin alfa (PROCRIT®) plus an intravenous dose of 200 mg of iron sucrose (Venofer®) at -14 days, -7 days before their planned surgery, and if indicated, based on labs, testing on the day of their surgery | None | None | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 | View |
| Non Anemia Group (NAG) | Group of patients who are not anemic preoperatively, who will receive our current, conventional perioperative standard of care. Blood Transfusion: An evidence-based, goal-directed blood transfusion protocol will be applied in AMG, CTG, and NAG patients during and after their surgical procedure to control for health provider variation in transfusion criteria and practices. This blood conservation protocol will consist primarily of the application of a restrictive transfusion trigger (Hgb \< 8 g/dl) (21,22) but will also take into consideration the patient's intraoperative estimated allowable blood loss and hemodynamic stability. | None | None | 0 | 40 | 0 | 40 | View |
| Conventional Treatment Group (CTG) | Group of patients who are diagnosed preoperatively as being anemic (defined as a Hgb \< 13.0 g/dL and MCV \< 100 fL, with a hematocrit between 30% and 39%, for males and females), who will receive our current, conventional perioperative standard of care, which does not involve any preoperative anemia management (other than laboratory testing). CTG patients will undergo routine perioperative laboratory testing/screening. Blood Transfusion: An evidence-based, goal-directed blood transfusion protocol will be applied in AMG, CTG, and NAG patients during and after their surgical procedure to control for health provider variation in transfusion criteria and practices. This blood conservation protocol will consist primarily of the application of a restrictive transfusion trigger (Hgb \< 8 g/dl) (21,22) but will also take into consideration the patient's intraoperative estimated allowable blood loss and hemodynamic stability. | None | None | 0 | 6 | 0 | 6 | View |
