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 |

| Intervention | The PT/OT provider will assess whether the patient meets eligibility criteria. If the patient is eligible to participate, they will then introduce the study to the patient and their parent or guardian. If the patient is interested in participating, the PI or PIs research assistant (RA) will seek written informed consent. After informed consent is obtained, the PI or RA will begin pretest data collection. Then, the PT/OT provider will begin the therapy session with Paro. The PI or RA will remain in the room during therapy session to record field notes. When the therapy session is complete, the PI or RA will begin posttest data collection. The patient will remain in the study for up to 7 PT/OT sessions or until they are discharged from the PICU. The PT/OT providers will coordinate all subsequent therapy sessions with the PI/RA while the patient remains on the study protocol. PARO therapy seal: PARO, a baby harp seal, is an advanced interactive, therapeutic medical robot developed by AIST, a leading Japanese industrial automation pioneer. It allows the documented benefits of animal therapy to be administered to patients in environments such as hospitals and extended care facilities where live animals present treatment or logistical difficulties. | 0 | None | 0 | 19 | 0 | 19 | View |
