Findings

Liu H et al

2016

Diagnostic accuracy

NA

Controlled blinded comparison of scope adapters and endoscope tower recorded videos

No significant difference between scope adapter and endoscopy tower videos (mean difference = 1.54%, p = 0.69).

  

Video recording quality

 

5-point Likert scale across 7quality variables

No significant difference across 7 categories (p = 0.11–0.92)

Liu YF et al

2016

Resident Education

NA

Resident and attending self-ratings of educational value of scope adapter examinations (non-validated 5-point scale)

Residents felt that reviewing examinations recorded with scope adapters enhanced learning in 79% of cases, and that ability to discuss recorded exams with attendings enhanced learning in 88% of cases. Attendings felt discussing recordings enhanced learning in 81% of cases.

Lozada et al

2017

Diagnostic accuracy

NA

Event rates of discordant diagnoses between staff/ resident based on smartphone adapter recordings; χ2 to compare frequency of discordant diagnoses across diagnostic categories

11% frequency of discordant exams; No statistically significant difference in number of discordant diagnoses among diagnostic categories

  

Video recording quailty

 

Event rate of repeated examinations

1.3% of exams needed to be repeated due to poor recording quailty
