The effectiveness trial "Stress echo (SE) 2020" evaluates novel applications of SE in and beyond coronary artery disease. The core protocol also includes 4-site simplified scan of B-lines by lung ultrasound, useful to assess pulmonary congestion.
To provide web-based upstream quality control and harmonization of B-lines reading criteria.
60 readers (all previously accredited for regional wall motion, 53 B-lines naive) from 52 centers of 16 countries of SE 2020 network read a set of 20 lung ultrasound video-clips selected by the Pisa lab serving as reference standard, after taking an obligatory web-based learning 2-h module ( http://se2020.altervista.org ). Each test clip was scored for B-lines from 0 (black lung, A-lines, no B-lines) to 10 (white lung, coalescing B-lines). The diagnostic gold standard was the concordant assessment of two experienced readers of the Pisa lab. The answer of the reader was considered correct if concordant with reference standard reading ±1 (for instance, reference standard reading of 5 B-lines; correct answer 4, 5, or 6). The a priori determined pass threshold was 18/20 (≥ 90%) with R value (intra-class correlation coefficient) between reference standard and recruiting center) > 0.90. Inter-observer agreement was assessed with intra-class correlation coefficient statistics.
All 60 readers were successfully accredited: 26 (43%) on first, 24 (40%) on second, and 10 (17%) on third attempt. The average diagnostic accuracy of the 60 accredited readers was 95%, with R value of 0.95 compared to reference standard reading. The 53 B-lines naive scored similarly to the 7 B-lines expert on first attempt (90 versus 95%, p = NS). Compared to the step-1 of quality control for regional wall motion abnormalities, the mean reading time per attempt was shorter (17 ± 3 vs 29 ± 12 min, p < .01), the first attempt success rate was higher (43 vs 28%, p < 0.01), and the drop-out of readers smaller (0 vs 28%, p < .01).
Web-based learning is highly effective for teaching and harmonizing B-lines reading. Echocardiographers without previous experience with B-lines learn quickly.
有效性试验“应激超声心动图(SE)2020”评估了SE在冠状动脉疾病及其他领域的新应用。核心方案还包括通过肺部超声对B线进行4部位简化扫描,这有助于评估肺淤血情况。
提供基于网络的B线阅读标准的上游质量控制与统一。
来自SE 2020网络16个国家52个中心的60名读者(均先前获得区域壁运动评估资格,53名无B线评估经验)在参加一个必修的2小时网络学习模块(http://se2020.altervista.org)后,阅读由比萨实验室挑选的一组20个肺部超声视频片段,该实验室的评估作为参考标准。每个测试片段根据B线情况从0分(黑色肺、A线、无B线)到10分(白色肺、融合的B线)进行评分。诊断金标准是比萨实验室两名经验丰富的读者的一致评估。如果读者的答案与参考标准读数相差±1(例如,参考标准读数为5条B线;正确答案为4、5或6),则认为该读者的答案正确。预先确定的通过阈值为18/20(≥90%),参考标准与招募中心之间的R值(组内相关系数)>0.90。观察者间的一致性通过组内相关系数统计进行评估。
所有60名读者均成功获得资格:第一次尝试获得资格的有26名(43%),第二次尝试获得资格的有24名(40%),第三次尝试获得资格的有10名(17%)。60名获得资格的读者的平均诊断准确率为95%,与参考标准读数相比,R值为0.95。53名无B线评估经验者第一次尝试的得分与7名有B线评估经验者相似(90%对95%,p=无显著差异)。与区域壁运动异常的质量控制第一步相比,每次尝试的平均阅读时间更短(17±3分钟对29±12分钟,p<0.01),第一次尝试成功率更高(43%对28%,p<0.),读者退出率更低(0%对28%,p<0.01)。
基于网络的学习对于B线阅读的教学和统一非常有效。以前没有B线评估经验的超声心动图医生学习速度很快。
