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)
