Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oral Versus Intravenous Sedation for Ocular Procedures (NCT NCT03246724)

NCT ID: NCT03246724

Last Updated: 2020-08-19

Results Overview

Patient satisfaction will be determined by completion of a 12 question satisfaction survey. The responses to each question will be graded on a scale from 1 to 6: 1 being the least satisfied and 6 being the most satisfied. After all answers are graded for one survey, they will be averaged to give an overall survey grade on the 1 to 6 scale per patient. Higher mean scores are associated with higher levels of satisfaction.

Participant Flow

Patients were recruited from October 26th, 2017 to November 30th, 2019 at the outpatient eye clinic, Ophthalmology Department, Boston Medical Center.

Out of 327 patients enrolled, 283 completed study participation and 44 patients did not complete study participation as they were dropped or withdrew from the study. 22 patients were dropped before randomization and 22 patients discontinued from study after randomization due to reasons seen in the participant flow table.

Patient satisfaction will be determined by completion of a 12 question satisfaction survey. The responses to each question will be graded on a scale from 1 to 6: 1 being the least satisfied and 6 being the most satisfied. After all answers are graded for one survey, they will be averaged to give an overall survey grade on the 1 to 6 scale per patient.
