Table 4.
This table shows how surgeons changed the management of the patients after reading second opinion reports, compared with what proposed after reading outside reports: number of cases (percentage and 95% confidence interval -CI-).
Surgeon 1 | Surgeon 2 | |
---|---|---|
Concordance between outside and second reader reports | 44/65 (67,6% CI: 55,6–77.9) | 52/65 (80% CI: 68,7–87,9) |
Change of therapy: from surgery to chemotherapy | 15/65 (23,1% CI: 14,5–34,6) | 6/65 (9,2% CI: 0,4–18,7) |
Change of therapy: from chemotherapy to surgery | 0/65 (0% CI: 0–0,58) | 4/65 (6,1% CI: 2,4–14,7) |
Change of therapy: from neoadjuvant chemotherapy to chemotherapy | 5/65 (7% CI: 3,3–16,6) | 1/65 (1,5% CI:0,2–8,2) |
Change of therapy: from chemotherapy to neoadjuvant chemotherapy | 1/65 (1,5% CI: 0,2–8,2) | 2/65 (3% CI: 0,8–10,5) |
