Workload and Educational Activities
The number of Thoracic CTs acquired for each 24-hour working period was recorded to point out the possible diagnostic differences on the high intensity workdays. Also, total number of reported COVID-19 pneumonia suspected CTs were cumulatively calculated to find out the break-point of departmental learning curve in accurate diagnosis. Schedules of in-department teaching activities, face-to-face meetings, and online meetings, conferences, webinars organized by the National Radiology Association were also noted. The possible positive effects levering the quality of CT reporting for covid-pneumonia were investigated.
Statistical Analysis: (örnek)
Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS software version 22. Distribution of clinical characteristics across groups of CT and RT-PCR results were presented with frequency tables. The Chi-square test was used to compare these proportions in different groups. The Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was performed to test the significance of pairwise differences using Bonferroni correction to adjust for multiple comparisons. An overall %5 type-I error level was used to infer statistical significance.
