About this study

The goal of this trial is to compare the evaluation of 3D liver models visualised as holograms with HoloLens 2 and on digital PDF files in HPB surgical trainees.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Do the holographic models allow a superior accuracy in terms of anatomical evaluation and surgical planning?
  • Is there any difference in terms of time consumed and Task Load Index? Participants will analyse cases through both modalities and answer a questionnaire.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diagnostic and planning accuracy

    Correctly identify anatomy and appropriate surgical planning Residents' decision-making accuracy when reviewing patient data and 3D liver models using Holograms or on PDF, measured by comparing their performance.

    The measurement tool will be a questionnaire consisting of 11 questions, rate of correct answers will be recorded (e.g. 8/10 correct answers) and higher scores mean a better outcome.

    Measured: Immediately after completing the evaluation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time consumed

    Analyse the time spent for the evaluation of the cases and complete the questionnaire Assessed by total time needed to make decision for 15 patient cases in minutes

    Measured: Immediately after completing the evaluation

  2. NASA Task Load Index

    Analyse the NASA TLI score for each participant to evaluate the cases by conducting a subjective mental workload assessment rating performance across six dimensions to determine an overall workload rating:

    1. Mental demand - how much thinking, deciding, or calculating was required to perform the task.
    2. Physical demand - the amount and intensity of physical activity required to complete the task.
    3. Temporal demand - the amount of time pressure involved in completing the task.
    4. Effort - how hard does the participant have to work to maintain their level of performance?
    5. Performance - the level of success in completing the task.
    6. Frustration level - how insecure, discouraged, or secure or content the participant felt during the task.

    Each participant gives a rating for each subscale from 1 (low) to 20 (high) and the TLX will calculate the overall worklaod score between 0 and 100

    Measured: Immediately after completing the evaluation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Holograms and PDF in people with Hepatobiliary Neoplasm, run by Federico II University at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic and planning accuracy (time frame: Immediately after completing the evaluation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2024.
