Table 4.
Comparison of Secondary Outcome (Intervention Group Physical Exam Versus Intervention Group Ultrasound Exam)
| Identification of normal and abnormal physical exam findings: “Present Score” and “Absent Score” | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All findings (Cardiac/Chest/Abdomen) |
Cardiac findings | Chest/Abdomen findings | ||||
| Present Score (%) | Absent Score (False Positive Rate*) | Present Score (%) | Absent Score (False Positive Rate*) | Present Score (%) | Absent Score (False Positive Rate*) | |
| Abnormal findings correctly identified of 17 possible | Normal findings correctly identified of 95 possible | Abnormal findings correctly identified of 13 possible | Normal findings correctly identified of 59 possible | Abnormal findings correctly identified of 4 possible | Normal findings correctly identified of 36 possible | |
| Intervention Group Ultrasound Exam | 7.6 (44.9 %) | 79.1 (16.8 %) | 6.1 (47.0 %) | 49.4 (16.3 %) | 1.5 (38.2 %) | 29.7 (17.5 %) |
| Intervention Group Physical Exam | 6.7 (39.3 %) | 793 (16.6) | 5.0 (38.5 %) | 50.3 (14.8 %) | 1.7 (42.1 %) | 29.0 (19.4 %) |
| p value from Wilcoxon Signed Rank test | 0.043 | 0.81 | 0.0084 | 0.51 | 0.61 | 0.19 |
*False positive rate is 100 % minus the percentage of normal findings correctly identified as normal
