Table 1. Odds ratios of a consultation having a follow-up consultation with a blood test within 7 days, by consultation type. The initial consultation may either be a face-to-face consultation with or without a blood test, or a telehealth consultation with or without a blood test. The follow-up consultation was reported separately by consultation type: either any kind of consultation or face-to-face consultation, with blood tests. Odds ratios in reference to face-to-face consultations without blood tests.

	Follow-up	Any consultation type		Face-to-face consultation
Initial		Crude OR(95% CI)	Adj OR (95% CI)	Crude OR (95% CI)	Adj OR (95% CI)
Face to face	No blood test	Reference
	Blood test	3.42(3.40 to 3.45)	3.00 (2.98 to 3.03)	3.28 (3.25 to 3.30)	2.86 (2.84 to 2.89)
Telehealth	No blood test	1.82 (1.81 to 1.84)	1.71 (1.69 to 1.73)	1.35 (1.34 to 1.37)	1.31 (1.30 to 1.33)
	Blood test	3.62 (3.53 to 3.71)	3.13 (3.06 to 3.21)	1.30 (1.25 to 1.36)	1.18 (1.13 to 1.22)

Adj OR = adjusted odds ratio (controlled for age, sex, Primary Health Network [PHN], and week of the year). OR = odds ratio. P values are statistically significant (<0.001), unless otherwise specified.
