Subclaims¶

q2 i? OCDE was cost-effective compared with face-to-face learning if the cost is less than or equal to Can $200 (2012 rate), per one economic evaluation using net benefit regression. → Wahabi HA 2019 q2 i? No trial evaluated the adverse effects of OCDE. → Wahabi HA 2019 (2)

q2 · i? · review · r3

One economic evaluation (Evers checklist assessed) compared self-debriefing versus instructor debriefing using net benefit regression, reporting incremental net benefit and a cost-effectiveness acceptability curve, drawing on data from an included RCT.

"The study concluded that digital learning was cost-effective if the intervention cost was less than or equal to Can $200 in the 2012 rate."

Wahabi HA 2019 (2)¶

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review's secondary-outcome search found no randomized trial evidence on adverse effects of OCDE, so this outcome remains untested in the included evidence base.

"We did not find any RCT that compared the adverse effects of OCDE with other interventions."
