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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Goal Directed Therapy (EGDT) | Early Goal Directed Therapy (EGDT) - The study team will insert a central venous catheter (CVC) for continuous monitoring of the subjects' central venous pressure (CVP) and central venous oxygen saturation (Scv02). The study team will use this information to give fluid, blood, and heart medications in a structured fashion. The CVC is FDA approved and routinely used in hospitals. Early Goal Directed Therapy (EGDT): Subjects will have a CVC inserted for continuous monitoring of their CVP and Scv02. Early structured treatment will be provided based on subjects' CVP, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and Scv02 measurements. | None | None | 23 | 439 | 41 | 439 | View |
| Protocolized Standard Care (PSC) | Protocolized Standard Care (PSC)- The study team will monitor the subjects' blood pressure and blood oxygen level with routine equipment. The study team will use this information to give fluid and heart medications in a structured fashion. CVCs will only be used when standard IVs are unable to give the proper amount of fluids and medicines. Blood transfusions will be given according to currently recommended guidelines. Protocolized Standard Care (PSC): Routine equipment will be used to monitor subjects' blood pressure and oxygen levels. Early structured treatment is based on the subjects' systolic blood pressure and the study doctors' judgment of fluid status and perfusion status. | None | None | 22 | 446 | 49 | 446 | View |
| Usual Care | Usual Care - The attending physicians will treat the subjects according to their standard treatment plan and without any influence from the study team. A member of the study team will simply observe and record what happens. Usual Care (UC): Attending physicians will provide routine care to subjects. Study measurements and treatments will be based on the physicians'/sites' standard practices. | None | None | 37 | 456 | 52 | 456 | View |
