| MCQ test Per cent correct | Simulation intervention | Pre-MCQ mean* (start of training day) | Post-MCQ mean* (end of training day) | Mean difference*† |
| ISS | 69.4 (65.4 to 73.4) | 82.6 (79.3 to 85.8) | −0.02 (−2.13 to 2.09) p=0.98 | |

*Based on generalised estimating equations to account for potential correlation within teams.
†Adjusted for pre MCQ (ANCOVA).
ANCOVA, analysis of covariance; ISS, in situ simulation; MCQ, multiple choice question (range: 0–100%); OSS, off-site simulation.
