    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    Even though most participants were post-graduate residents, one possible limitation is their high turnaround, and they may not grasp the whole experience. Implementing virtual handover and telemedicine at other clinical areas within the scope of their rotations may provide additional experience and perspective, which should be further evaluated. Residents’ and trainees’ opinions on Zoom’s use in the clinical practice during the COVID-19 crisis were wildly varied, which is common in narrative analyses (41). A recent cross- sectional survey that evaluated post-graduate residents’ knowledge on infection prevention and control practices did not show any difference in overall knowledge by age, residency year, or rotating department (42). Some of our training residents thought the whole endorsement process does not affect the patient care in the PICU, thinking that this relates more to the PICU senior staff themselves rather than relating to the trainees. This misconception highlights that training residents need more education on how proper endorsement affects the quality of patient care and safety (43). Having all PICU team members share the handover information about a patient’s current situation, assessments, and care recommendations could prevent near misses and adverse events (43). Unfortunately, such vital information does not always pass flawlessly from the previous to the subsequent healthcare providers. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has reported several g...

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding.
