A number of variables was dichotomized: age, job tenure, working hours per week in previous job, the number of supervised co-workers, working hours per week in present job, scores of the SIP, FACIT-F, EORTC-QLQ-C30, and WAI, using the median as a cut-off point.
However, this effect appears to be more related to the number of supervised visits, with a greater improvement in outcomes observed with 12 or more supervised visits [ 35].
Such training also reduced the number of supervised bedside TEE examinations needed to achieve competency in hemodynamic evaluation in the ICU.
While recommendations of the number of supervised EUS-FNAs vary [ 24, 45– 47], competence in linear EUS is essential before commencing FNA.
We speculate that this could be improved by increasing the number of supervised video tutorials, or by including more videos in the diagnosis-focused teaching sessions.
The number of supervised TTEs correlated significantly with the total TTE score (r = 0.68, P < 0.0001) (Figure 3).
The number of supervised TTEs correlated significantly with the total TTE score (r = 0.68, P < 0.0001).
There is no consensus about the number of supervised echocardiograms a trainee must perform to become sufficiently skilled [ 29].
The numbers of supervised ultrasound examinations required to maintain competence is debatable.
Significant negative correlations were found between gray matter volume in IFG and the number of medically supervised detoxifications (patients only; r = −0.47, P = 0.017, Fig. 4a), indicating that greater numbers of attempts to quit are related to lower gray matter volume in this area in alcohol-dependent patients.
