ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Competency in endoscopy has traditionally been based on number of procedures performed. With movement towards milestone-based accreditation, new standards of establishing competency are required. The Thompson Endoscopic Skills Trainer (TEST) is a training device previously shown to differentiate between novice and expert endoscopists. This study aims to correlate TEST scores to other markers of performance in endoscopy.METHODS:
Trainees of a gastroenterology fellowship program were guided through the TEST. Their scores and sub-scores were correlated to their endoscopic metrics of performance, including adenoma detection rate, cecal intubation rate, cecal intubation time, withdrawal time, fentanyl usage, midazolam usage, pain score, overall procedure time, and performance on the ASGE Assessment of Competency in Endoscopy Tool (ACE Tool).RESULTS:
The Overall Score positively correlated with the ACE Tool Total Score (r = 0.707, p = 0.010) and sub-scores (Cognitive Skills Score r = 0.624, p = 0.030; Motor Skills Score r = 0.756, p = 0.004), and negatively correlated with cecal intubation time (r = - 0.591, p = 0.043). The Gross Motor Score positively correlated with cecal intubation rate (r = 0.593, p = 0.042), ACE Tool Total Score (r = 0.594, p = 0.042) and Motor Skills Score (r = 0.623, p = 0.031), and negatively correlated with cecal intubation time (r = - 0.695, p = 0.012). The Fine Motor Score positively correlated with the ACE Tool Polypectomy Score (r = 0.601, p = 0.039), and negatively correlated with procedure time (r = - 0.640, p = 0.025), cecal intubation time (r = - 0.645, p = 0.024), and withdrawal time (r = - 0.629, p = 0.028).CONCLUSION:
This study demonstrates that performance on the TEST correlate to endoscopic measures. Given these results, the TEST may be used in conjunction with existing assessment tools for demonstrating competency in endoscopy.Palabras clave
