Review synthesis of the four included studies measuring Kirkpatrick level 3 behavioral outcomes in a patient setting. The review reports "Two of four studies with outcomes on Kirkpatrick level 3 reported significant improvements" on (modified) BSTAT, while procedure-time effects were conflicting across the three studies reporting them.

"Two of four studies with outcomes on Kirkpatrick level 3 reported significant improvements in (modified) BSTAT outcomes.30,33 Ost et al,28 Blum et al,29 and Siow et al30 all reported procedure time outcomes in a patient setting. However, their effect on procedure time was conflicting."
