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

| TachoSil® | TachoSil® absorbable patches, applied topically, once, intraoperatively to stop bleeding. The patches were lightly compressed against the suture line for 3 minutes. The number of patches used was determined by the surgeon based on the size of the wound. If bleeding did not stop after 5 minutes treatment was repeated. | None | None | 49 | 99 | 52 | 99 | View |
| Surgicel® Original | Surgicel® Original absorbable patches, applied topically, once, intraoperatively to stop bleeding. The patches were lightly compressed against the suture line for 3 minutes. The number of patches used was determined by the surgeon based on the size of the wound. If bleeding did not stop after 5 minutes treatment was repeated. | None | None | 19 | 50 | 28 | 50 | View |
