Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Published faculty development program evaluation articles often leave the program description incomplete, making it difficult for new program planners to build on previous work. Using a model based on the work of Stuffelbeam, we examined faculty development literature for the inclusion of important program elements. We found that many important program components, including local needs assessment, leadership and resource support, stakeholder input, implementation barriers, participant attendance, and cost were each discussed in fewer than 30% of published articles. The context, input, process, and product framework is proposed as a guiding model for future program reports.

Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding and Forrest's classification: diagnostic agreement between endoscopists from the same area.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The lack of uniformity in defining the stigmata of hemorrhage in patients with bleeding ulcers is suggested by the wide range among published studies in prevalence and rebleeding rates for the same stigmata. Moreover there is, in published trials of endoscopic hemostasis, little standardization of definitions of stigmata of hemorrhage. The aim of this study was to assess the interobserver agreement among endoscopists from the same area (Piedmont and Valley of Aosta). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A workshop for 47 expert endoscopists was organized in order to evaluate their agreement in the diagnosis of stigmata of recent hemorrhage, according to Forrest's classification. During the meeting 25 videotapes from endoscopic examinations of patients with recent non-variceal bleeding were shown to the 47 endoscopists, who were asked to classify every lesion. RESULTS: The overall and beyond chance interobserver agreement was calculated by means of the kappa statistic. The overall agreement among endoscopists was highly significant (p < 0.001, kappa=0.60), while the beyond chance agreement varied from excellent to good for lesions with active bleeding (kappa=0.76 and kappa=0.61 for FIA and FIB lesions respectively), whereas for lesions with stigmata of recent hemorrhage kappa varied from 0.44 to 0.49. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest the need for better knowledge of endoscopic criteria, in order to evaluate the results of endoscopic therapy and to assess new treatments.
