- Using inconsistent terminology, e.g. having different terms in documentation and e.g. labels and menu items in a user interface is believed to be confusing to users. However, few empirical studies exist on this particular topic. In this paper we show how users' interaction with an interface is affected by inconsistent terminology. An experimental eye-tracking study with 30 participants was conducted where the participants were shown a user interface and a task description. The terminology in the interface and task description was manipulated to be either consistent or inconsistent. The results show that terminological inconsistencies led to a significantly higher number of visual fixations, more time needed to perform the task, and more returns to the task description. The conclusion is that inconsistent use of terms create unnecessary cognitive workload for the user that can be avoided by ensuring terminological consistency within a system.

Background: In patients with early hepatocellular cancer (HCC) and preserved liver function, the choice between transplantation, resection and ablation and which factors to consider is not obvious and guidelines differ. In this national cohort study, we aimed to compare posttreatment survival in patients fulfilling predefined criteria, and to analyse preoperative risk factors that could influence decision. Methods: We used data from HCC-patients registered with primary transplantation, resection or ablation 2008–2016 in the SweLiv-registry. In Child A-subgroups, 18–75 years, we compared survival after transplantation or resection, with different tumour criteria; either corresponding to our transplantation criteria (N = 257) or stricter with single tumours ≤50 mm (N = 159). A subgroup with single tumours ≤30 mm, compared all three treatments (N = 193). Results: We included 1022 HCC-patients; transplantation n = 223, resection n = 438, ablation n = 361. In the transplant criteria subgroup, differences in five-year survival, adjusted for age and gender, were not significant, with 71.2% (CI 62.3–81.3) after transplantation (n = 109) and 63.5% (CI 54.9–73.5) after resection (n = 148). Good liver function (Child 5 vs. 6, Albumin ≥36), increased the risk after transplantation, but decreased the risk after resection and ablation. Conclusion: Even within Child A, detailed liver function assessment is important before treatment decision, and for stratifying survival comparisons.
