q3 i? Multiple regression identified competency level (β = 0.50, p < 0.001) and training duration (β = 0.42, p = 0.003) as the strongest predictors. → Luksanaporn K 2025

Evidence¶

Luksanaporn K 2025¶

Luksanaporn K, Naruporn K, Sasikarnt L. (2025). Global disparities in ophthalmology education and alignment with international council of ophthalmology guidelines among medical students: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-025-07012-1

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Multiple regression across included studies; the abstract reports "competency level (β = 0.50, p < 0.001) and training duration (β = 0.42, p = 0.003)" as strongest predictors. β coefficients are unstandardised-style regression weights, so no effect-size impact is coded.

"Multiple regression analysis identified competency level (β = 0.50, p < 0.001) and training duration (β = 0.42, p = 0.003) as the strongest predictors of ophthalmology education outcomes."
