Abstract
Background

The EDAIC is a diploma of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC). which is obtained after passing two a written MCQ-based (Part1) and a structured oral (part2) examinationIn 2011, a formative On-Line Assessment (OLA) was introduced to help candidates to prepare for EDAIC Part1 examination (EDAIC-I). This retrospective observational study evaluated the results of the OLA and its impact on the EDAIC-1 between 2013 and 2019.

Methods

After obtaining the authorisation from the ESAIC Examinations Committee, all the results of candidates registered to OLA and/or EDAIC-I between 2013 and 2019 were included. The total number of registrations and the results were analysed and compared for both.

Results

Over 17,000 candidates (17,401) sat any of the written exams of the EDAIC. The overall pass-rate for the EDAIC-1 was 68.95%. The OLA score increased significantly with the number of attempts for Paper A (Basic Science) (p=0.006).

Overall success of the EDAIC-I was higher in candidates who took the OLA before (72.9% versus 68.3%; OR: 1.25; 95% CI [1.12; 1.39]; p<0.001). Candidates who failed in their first attempt for EDAIC-I were more likely to sit the exam again if they had performed the OLA before (OR: 1.396, 95% CI [1.237; 1.574]; p<0.001).

Conclusion

The OLA was associated with an improvement of the results in basic science and success rate in the EDAIC-I.

Resumen
Introducción

El EDAIC es un diploma de la Sociedad Europea de Anestesia y Cuidados intensivos (ESAIC)obtenido tras aprobar dos exámenes, una primera parte escrita con preguntas de tipo test y una segunda parte oral estructurada. En 2011, otra prueba formativa en línea (el OnLine Assessment, OLA) fue introducida para ayudar los candidatos a prepararse para el primer examen (EDAIC-I). Este estudio retrospectivo observacional fue diseñado para evaluar los resultados del OLA y su impacto sobre el EDAIC-I entre 2013 y 2019.

Métodos

Después de obtener la autorización del comité examinador de la ESAIC, todos los resultados de los candidatos registrados para el OLA y/o el EDAIC-I entre 2013 y 2019 fueron incluidos. El número total de inscripciones y los resultados fueron analizados y comparados para ambas pruebas.

Resultados

Más de 17.000 candidatos (17.401) presentaron cualquiera de los exámenes escritos del EDAIC. La tasa de aprobados en el EDAIC-I fue del 68,95%. La nota en el OLA aumentó de manera significativa en intentos sucesivos para el Paper A (Ciencias Básicas) (p=0,006)

La tasa global de aprobados en el EDAIC-I fue más alta en los candidatos que habían presentado el OLA antes (72,9% versus 68,3%; OR: 1,25; 95% CI [1,12; 1,39]; p<0,001). Los candidatos que fallaron en el primer intento al EDAIC-I repitieron más el examen si habían realizado el OLA (OR: 1.396, 95% CI [1.237; 1.574]; p<0.001).

Conclusión

El OLA fue asociado a un aumento de los resultados en ciencias básicas y de la tasa de aprobados en el EDAIC-I.
