q2 · i? · associational · r1

Cross-sectional intra-operative study by Schiff et al. using the Quality of Communication Questionnaire, reported within the review. The review reports "an additional 51 ml of estimated blood loss and a 31-min increase in operative time" per SD of communication deficit.

"Schiff et al., identified that for every one standard deviation (SD) increase in the deficit in the quality of communication perceived, there was an additional 51 ml of estimated blood loss and a 31-min increase in operative time"
