Effect of repeat refresher courses on neonatal resuscitation skill decay: an experimental comparative study of in-person and video-based simulation training

Table 4 Average skill and knowledge decay of traditional (T, in-person) and video (V, remote) groups

Outcome	T decay	V decay	p-value*
Time to BMV, seconds, mean (SD)	27.7 (16.1)	20.4 (24.2)	0.54
Knowledge examination score, mean (SD)	1.3 (1.8)	0.8 (1.1)	0.52
Practical examination score, mean (SD)	− 2.3 (2.6)	− 1.0 (1.8)	0.27

Decay was measured by subtracting post-training results at first refresher follow-up from pre-training results at second follow-up
BMV Bag-mask ventilation, SD Standard deviation
*Calculated by t-test
