Adverse Events Multiple Occurrences Distribution
This report enables you to compare distributions of adverse events across treatment arms for subgroups defined by demographics such as age, sex and race. It computes counts based on the overall counts of events, including multiple occurrences per subject. The number of events is reported per term.
Note: Refer to Distribution Reports for a description of the general analysis performed by all JMP Clinical distribution reports.
Report Results Description
Running Adverse Events Multiple Occurrences Distribution with Nicardipine using Actual for Treatment or Comparison Variable to Use generates the Report for Adverse Events Multiple Occurrences Distribution as shown below. Differences with other reports are noted throughout this output description.
The report contains the following elements:
Bar Chart
Using a Bar Chart or Tree Map, this section summarizes the distributions of terms based on xxDECOD or, if unavailable, xxTERM or xxTRT depending on CDISC domain type. Results are summarized by selected demographic grouping and can be displayed as total counts .
In the example shown here, Dictionary-Derived Term counts by treatment are displayed.
Tabulate
The Tabulate section contains one Table detailing the counts for each treatment group, for each dictionary-derived term within each body system or organ class. The counts, represented by n, are the number of subjects who experienced the given adverse event. The All row at the bottom of the table is the total number of adverse events in the given treatment arm.

Data
Use the drop-downs on this panel to customize your analysis.
Term and Group Level
Term and Group Levels are determined by the coding dictionary for the Event or Intervention domain of interest, typically these levels follow the MedDRA dictionary. Use this widget to indicate how each adverse event is named and the level at which the event is considered. For example, selecting Reported Term for the Adverse Event, grouped by Body System or Organ Class as theTerm and Group Level reports the event specified by the actual event term as reported in the AE domain on the affected organ or body system.
The term level will determine which term is displayed on the x-axis of the bar chart. Both the term and group level will be shown in the table with term level nested within group level.
Event Type
Analysis can consider all events or only those that emerge at specific times before, during, or after the trial period. For example, selecting On treatment events as the Event Type includes only those events that occur on or after the first dose of study drug and at or before the last dose of drug (+ the offset for end of dosing).
Ignore available treatment emergent flags
If you choose to Ignore available treatment emergent flags, the analysis includes all adverse events that occur on or after day 1 of the study when the event type is Treatment emergent events.
Demographic Grouping and Stack
Results can be viewed as a whole or they can either be split out by Demographic Grouping or Stacked to show different levels within each event. Demographic Grouping will change the variable displayed on the y-axis of the bar chart, as well as change the variable used across the top of the table to split the columns. Stack impacts both the bar chart by stacking the bars according to the levels of the chosen variable with corresponding effects in the table. For example, if severity is chosen, the bars will be stacked by mild, moderate, and severe events.
