q3 · i? · review · r2

Narrative synthesis of the 45 transferability studies. Operating room performance was assessed in real time or with videos using the GEARS form, and control groups received no simulation training; the review reports "In 37 (82%) of the studies, simulation performance was correlated with better performance in the operating room."

"In total, 45 studies primarily focused on the transferability of simulation skills to the operating room. In 42 (93%) of the studies, the initial training and assessment consisted of virtual training on the dVSS with dVSS metrics as assessment, and dry lab sessions with GEARS assessment."
