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: NCT00514735
Description: All adverse events (serious and nonserious) were recorded. Specific data about the event were entered into the electronic database. A planned hospital admission or unscheduled medical visit for atrial fibrillation that occurred within the follow-up period did not constitute an adverse event.
Frequency Threshold: 4
Time Frame: Adverse events (AEs) were collected from the day of randomization to trial conclusion at the final 6 month follow-up. All adverse events were included even if the subject had a repeat procedure and the 6 month follow-up period was restarted.
Study: NCT00514735
Study Brief: Tailored Treatment of Permanent Atrial Fibrillation

Ablation Management Pre- and post- procedure anticoagulation was managed according to the preference of the investigator. Left atrial access was obtained by a single transseptal puncture. No ablations were to occur until the activated clotting time reached 300 seconds, which was to be maintained for the duration of the ablation. During the index ablation procedure, investigators were required to use all 3 investigational catheters. Cardioversion could be used to restore sinus rhythm if needed. If there was a recurrence of atrial fibrillation, a repeat ablation procedure could be performed any time during the follow-up period. With a retreatment, the follow-up clock was restarted. Subjects were seen pre-discharge and at in-clinic follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months. None None 41 138 25 138 View
Medical Management Medical Management subjects were prescribed Class I or III antiarrhythmic drugs. Changes in dosing, antiarrhythmic drugs or combinations of antiarrhythmic drugs were allowed. Direct current (DC) cardioversions were also allowed at the discretion of the investigator. Anticoagulation was to be maintained at an International Normalized Ratio greater than 2. Subjects were seen at in-clinic follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months. Subjects who demonstrated chronic treatment failure while under drug therapy could cross over, and receive an ablation as early as 4 months post randomization. None None 3 72 3 72 View
