Assessing feasibility and satisfaction in third-trimester pre-anaesthetic teleconsultations: A prospective observational study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Pregnancy presents risks, particularly for women with pre-existing health problems. Pre-anaesthetic consultations can help anticipate these risks and establish a medical management strategy on the delivery day. While teleconsultations gained popularity during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, research on pre-anaesthetic teleconsultations during pregnancy is limited. This study aimed to assess patient satisfaction and physician perception of teleconsultations for third-trimester pre-anaesthetic consultations. Methods: A prospective observational study included pregnant women who opted for teleconsultations for pre-anaesthetic consultations. Patient satisfaction was assessed using Likert scale questions and the System Use Scale. Anaesthetist satisfaction was evaluated using a Likert scale and by considering changes in anaesthetic techniques and missing clinical data in the pre-anaesthetic assessment. Data analysis utilised SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20.0. encompassing descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing and odds ratio calculations. This approach explored the correlation between patient and anaesthetist satisfaction and pertinent risk factors. Results: The study enroled 99 patients, with 85% expressing satisfaction and high satisfaction on the Likert scale and 88% finding the teleconsultation acceptable based on the System Use Scale (score ≥ 70). Anaesthetists reported being satisfied with the pre-anaesthetic consultations in 94% of cases. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of telemedicine consultations in obstetric anaesthesia, showing high patient and anaesthetist satisfaction rates.
