Adverse Events Module

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

NCT ID: NCT03003403
Description: We used the clinicaltrials.gov definitions for adverse events. Adverse events were collected directly from participants (email, phone, and/or text) and via medical chart reviews at 6- and 12-months.
Frequency Threshold: 0
Time Frame: Randomization through 12 months (active intervention phase)
Study: NCT03003403
Study Brief: Balance: A Pragmatic Trial of a Digital Health Intervention to Prevent Weight Gain in Primary Care

Title Description Deaths # Affected Deaths # At Risk Serious # Affected Serious # At Risk Other # Affected Other # At Risk View
Intervention Program Balance Intervention Program: Participants randomly assigned to the 12-month digital health behavioral intervention will receive: tailored behavior change goals with interactive self-monitoring and feedback; network-connected scales to track their weight; skills training materials; and stepped coaching (via phone and/or text) from Registered Dietitians serving as health coaches within a local network of community health centers. Intervention Program: Balance is testing a pragmatic approach to promote weight maintenance among overweight patients and patients with obesity within local community health centers who experience barriers to losing weight. The intervention utilizes the interactive obesity treatment approach, which creates an energy deficit by having participants achieve simple, straightforward, and concrete behavior change goals (e.g., no fast food, no sugary drinks, walk 10,000 steps per day). The Balance intervention involves tailored behavior change goals; self-monitoring using connected scales and mobile technologies; responsive coaching, and tailored feedback and skills training. 0 None 22 223 42 223 View
Usual Care Program Balance Usual Care Program: Participants randomly assigned to the Usual Care program will receive the standard primary care offered by their providers; health information/skills training materials to maintain a healthy weight; and automated (non-tailored) text messages with health information. 0 None 13 220 34 220 View
