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.
