Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Quote: "In 2016 and 2017, we conducted a partially‐blinded, pilot, parallel group randomized trial (NCT#03141190) with 1:1 allocation of PGY‐1 residents to ESRT‐1 (n ¼ 23) versus active Control‐1 (n ¼ 21). ESRT‐1 participants (100% surgical) were" Computer‐generated randomization |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | One male control mistakenly attended the first week of ESRT‐2 and was allowed to continue in the intervention arm |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Although participants were blinded to assignment and asked not to discuss class content between arms, communication was certainly possible and should be considered in evaluating our results. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Although participants were blinded to the assignment and asked not to discuss class content between arms, communication was certainly possible and should be considered in evaluating our results. Outcomes are self‐report. |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Total absences were minimal (10%) across all trials, populations, and conditions; 80% were attributable to scheduled vacations or emergent patient situations. The remainder were attributable to over‐sleeping. Attrition was limited to two female participants (both nonsurgical), who dropped from ESRT‐2 (intervention arm) due to disinterest in performing home practice and feeling ‘‘overloaded’’ by additional obligations.Participants who did not complete the study felt more overloaded however loss to follow‐up is below our pre‐defined cut‐off point. |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Trial registration NCT03141190NCT03518359. No indication of selective reporting. |
Other bias | Low risk | No indication of other sources of bias. |
