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? Mean operative speed decreased from 87 (SD 26) to 42 (SD 19) seconds (p < 0.001) among 103 participants in a 2-day endoscopic mitral valve surgery training course. → EL-Andari R 2023
q2 i? Suture accuracy improved from 56% to 100% for posterior leaflet sutures and from 43% to 99% for anterior leaflet sutures (both p < 0.001), and theoretical assessment scores rose from 58% to 67% (p < 0.001). → EL-Andari R 2023 (2)

q2 · i? · review · r2
Course-based training study reported in the review: 103 participants took a 2-day endoscopic mitral valve surgery course with day 1 theoretical content on basic endoscopic skills and day 2 hands-on training on endoscopic mitral annuloplasty.
"After the course, there was a significant decrease in mean operative speed, from 87 (SD 26) seconds to 42 (SD 19) seconds (p < 0.001)."

q2 · i? · review · r2
Same 2-day course (103 participants): accuracy of posterior and anterior leaflet sutures and a standardized question assessment of theoretical knowledge (58% to 67%, p < 0.001) were measured after hands-on endoscopic mitral annuloplasty training.
"There was also a significant improvement in accuracy with the posterior leaflet sutures improving from an initial 56% to 100% (p < 0.001) and the anterior leaflet sutures from 43% to 99% (p < 0.001)."
