SALIVA STRESS BIOMARKERS CAN RELIABLY ESTIMATE ENDOSCOPY NOVICES’ PERFORMANCE IN A HIGH-END SIMULATOR

Abstract

Aims The absence of a reliable detection method makes estimating endoscopists’ mental stress difficult to quantify. Although several non-invasive stress measuring methods have been proposed, most studies have used only one or two stress estimation parameters and produced conflicting results. This study concomitantly measures the responses of all previously reported non-invasive stress indices and compares them to the video score (VS) achieved by novice endoscopists in a reproducibly stressful simulation environment.
