Subclaims¶

q2 i3 A higher anticipation ratio showed a significant correlation with shorter operative time (r = -0.44, p = 0.01). → Mahendran Vimaladhithan 2024 q2 i3 More requests during an operation were associated with longer operative time (r = 0.79, p < 0.001). → Mahendran Vimaladhithan 2024

q2 · i3 · associational · r1

Cohort study by Sexton et al. in the live operating room, reported within the review. The review reports the anticipation ratio "showed a significant correlation with shorter operative time (r = -0.44, p = 0.01)" and that more requests were associated with longer operative time (r = 0.79, p < 0.001).

"Higher anticipation ratio, was defined as "the ratio of anticipated requests to the total number of requests during a given operation" and showed a significant correlation with shorter operative time (r = -0.44, p = 0.01)"
