Authors' conclusion
The SPARCC-SIJ RETIC e-modules are feasible, effective knowledge transfer tools
Study context
- Population
- Readers from the EuroSpA Imaging project scoring MRI sacroiliac joint (SIJ) lesions in axSpA25 cases scored
- Participants
- 17 participants
- Comparison
- SPARCC-SIJ RETIC e-module calibration stages
- Outcome
- Reliability (ICC vs a SPARCC developer) and feasibility (SUS) of SPARCC MRI SIJ scoring after e-module calibration
Methodological detailsreaders randomised to one of two calibration strategies, three stages
- Readers randomised to one of two calibration strategies
- Three stages
