^aQuestions available in Table 2
^bComparison of individual questions (Q1–9) with the overall judgement of the student (Q10), calculating the odds ratio (OR; 95% confidence intervals; P-values) estimated as measures of the size of the effect. An OR of 1.00 meant that there was no difference in the comparison undertaken; an OR less than 1.00 meant that the patients assessed students as relatively less competent in that component question; whilst an OR greater than 1.00 meant that the patients assessed students as relatively more competent
