Table 2. Proportion of cases assessed by experts as potentially at risk with respect to all cases within the respective SmED-Kontakt+ recommendation categories, based on the time of further care and the care level as recommended by SmED-Kontakt+.
| a) Proportion of cases potentially at risk in % (n) based on medical history information and symptoms | Care level | |||
| Emergency room | SHI physician | Teleconsultation | ||
| Time when care provided | immediately | 0.0 (0/160) | – | – |
| as soon as possible | 0.1% (1/1 002) | 2.6% (5/196) | – | |
| <24 hours | – | 7.0% (22/316) | 2.4% (1/41) | |
| ≥ 24 hours | – | 12.5% (4/32) | 17.2% (16/93) | |
| b) Proportion of cases potentially at risk in % (n) after knowledge of the overall clinical course | Care level | |||
| Emergency room | SHI physician | Teleconsultation | ||
| Time when care provided | immediately | 0.0 (0/160) | – | – |
| as soon as possible | 0.1% (1/1 002) | 1.5% (3/196) | – | |
| <24 hours | – | 6.3% (20/316) | 2.4% (1/41) | |
| ≥ 24 hours | – | 9.4% (3/32) | 14.0% (13/93) | |
a) Proportion of cases potentially at risk with knowledge of the initially available clinical information (T0 = primary endpoint, expert consensus);
b) Proportion of cases potentially at risk with knowledge of the overall clinical course (T1 = secondary endpoint, assessed by at least one expert as potentially at risk)
