Table 2 and figure 1 about here
On average, 3 persons (range: 2-8) participated in a given consultation. Also, an average of 4 messages (range: 2-20) were exchanged in every consultation (not including daily routine messages such as thanks, goodbye, etc.). In 20% (76 cases) of the consultations, there were no certain answers. Most of them dealt with ”maternal and infant cases”, ”procedures, drugs and ICU cases”, ”other diseases with contact with and exposure to COVID-19 or COVID-19 history”. In 158 (47.5%) cases, consultations were concluded during work hours (both requests and first reply messages). In 182 (54.8%) cases, request messages were concluded during work time and in 149 (45.1%) cases, the first responses were also during working hours. A significant relationship between consultation categories and final conclusion (consultation had certain answer or not) was observed (χ2 = 89.539, p= <.001). The degree of significance was calculated using Cramer’s V test as 0.550. Table3 describes the details of the goodness of fit.
