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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Step-based Exercise Group | The experimental group will receive the following 12-week step-based exercise prescription with the eventual goal of walking at least 5,000 steps a day (based on evidence that at least 5,000 a day is associated with better health). The Fitbit Fitness Monitor will be used for tracking. * Week 1: walk at least 3,000 steps every day. * Week 2: walk at least 3,500 steps every day. * Week 3: walk at least 4,000 steps every day. * Week 4: walk at least 4,500 steps every day. * Weeks 5-12: walk at least 5,000 steps every day. Daily Step-based Exercise: A 12-week step-based exercise prescription with the eventual goal of walking at least 5,000 steps a day. Fitbit Fitness Monitor: Used by the experimental group to assess outcome and to guide exercise therapy; used by the active comparator group to assess outcome only | 0 | None | 0 | 11 | 0 | 11 | View |
| Symptom-based Exercise Group | The active comparator group (i.e., control group) will receive the following 12-week symptom-based exercise prescription (adapted from practice guidelines). * Walk on a flat surface at a constant speed until there is mild to moderate pain * Rest until the pain has completely ceased * Resume walking at the same speed * Increase the speed when you can walk 8 minutes without stopping for leg symptoms * Continue this exercise routine for 45 consecutive minutes, 3 to 5 days a week. Symptom-based Exercise: A 12-week symptom-based exercise prescription adapted from clinical practice guidelines. Fitbit Fitness Monitor: Used by the experimental group to assess outcome and to guide exercise therapy; used by the active comparator group to assess outcome only | 0 | None | 0 | 9 | 0 | 9 | View |
