Table 2.
Hospital mortality.
Tele-EMS physician (n = 25) | On-site-EMS physician (n = 25) | p value | |
---|---|---|---|
Time of hospitalisation until death (days) | 10.7 (SD ± 11.5) | 9.8 (SD ± 20.6) | 0.848 |
Patients who died < 24 h | 0 (0%) | 6 (24%) | 0.022 |
Patients who died without a diagnostic miscordance | 19 (76.0%) | 20 (80.0%) | 1.000 |
Patients who died with a diagnostic miscordance | 6 (24.0%) | 5 (20.0%) | 1.000 |
By that < 24 h | 0 (0%) | 2 (0.3%) | 0.490 |
This table shows the overall hospital mortality and the hospital mortality from patients with and without diagnostic miscordances treated initially by the tele-EMS physician in comparison to patients with diagnostic miscordance treated initially by the on-site-EMS physician. The probability of a type 1 error below 1% was considered as significant.
