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

| Tranexamic Acid | Participants undergoing spinal surgery received a single, topical dose of 3 g tranexamic acid. The surgeon irrigated the study medication in the wound prior to closure, and aspirated it after five minutes. Drains were placed after the study drug was aspirated. | None | None | 3 | 12 | 0 | 0 | View |
| Placebo | Participants undergoing spinal surgery received a single, topical dose of matching placebo. The surgeon irrigated the study medication in the wound prior to closure, and aspirated it after five minutes. Drains were placed after the study drug was aspirated. | None | None | 1 | 17 | 0 | 0 | View |
