Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Twenty simulations of emergency open conversion reduced time to conversion by 55.2% and increased leadership and role delineation. → Mahendran Vimaladhithan 2024
q2 i? A significant correlation was observed between time to conversion and the number of errors (R2 = 0.6669). → Mahendran Vimaladhithan 2024

q2 · i? · review · r2
Non-randomised experimental simulation study by Zattoni et al. reported within the review; four strategies were implemented after the first simulation: "improving leadership, clearly defining roles, improving the knowledge base, and reorganising the operating theatre".
"Zattoni et al. reported that 20 simulations of emergency open conversion and reorganisation of the operating theatre during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) reduced time to conversion by 55.2%, increased leadership and improved role delineation."
