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? Across the included studies, the EyeSi Surgical Simulator showed statistically significant performance differences between novices and experts in both the navigation and membrane peeling modules. → Rasmussen Rasmus Christian 2019
Evidence¶
Rasmussen Rasmus Christian 2019¶
Rasmussen Rasmus Christian, Grauslund Jakob, Vergmann Anna Stage. (2019). Simulation training in vitreoretinal surgery: a systematic review. BMC Ophthalmology. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12886-019-1098-x
q2 · i? · review · r3
Qualitative synthesis of seven included studies in a systematic review. The review reports that in both the navigation and membrane peeling modules "a statistical significant performance difference was found between novices and experts."
"If we look at our combined results from the included studies, we found evidence that the EyeSi® Surgical Simulator can differentiate novices from experts in VRS."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Validity evidence across ophthalmic simulators is sparse: only two studies provided evidence for all five sources of validity assessment, and the Eyesi Surgical is the most extensively assessed model with 33 validity studies.
- Surgical performance improvement after virtual reality simulator training is limited to novice and intermediate trainees, not experienced or expert surgeons
- Repeated simulator attempts improve VRS performance, with expert groups showing no further improvement
- Twenty-eight studies of the Eyesi cataract training modules collectively demonstrated all five sources of validity evidence, with strong data for each parameter except response processes. — related
