The present paper considers the implementation of the change, the question of whether the pass rate increased amongst non-UK candidates, any possible role of Differential Item Functioning (DIF), and changes in examination predictive validity after the change.
The online assessment was simply the paper-based examination paper typically administered in this course translated to an online version, with no real change in examination techniques.
No significant changes in neurological examinations were found either within or between the doxycycline and placebo group.
Robinson et al 47 reported a mean weight increased of 1.7 kg (observed cases), and reported no clinically important changes in physical examinations, electrocardiograms, or clinical chemistries.
There were no changes in neurological examination or electrophysiological testing serially.
Safety assessments included adverse event (AE) reporting, changes in physical examination findings, clinical laboratory test results and vital signs at all visits.
Adverse events are defined as abnormal test findings, clinically significant symptoms and signs, changes in physical examination findings or hypersensitivity.

No major changes in physical examination or in standard laboratory parameters were observed after treatment.
Therefore, the changes in the examination costs, shifting from a film-based system to a filmless system, are unclear.
