Quantitative Methods

Patients in both traditional and remote pathways will complete questionnaires. Missing data will be described and then handled using multiple imputation. Remote pathway participants complete two questionnaires, while traditional pathway participants complete one. Quantitative analysis will cover patient characteristics, symptom resolution, discharge rates, review volumes, waiting times, and environmental sustainability. Regression models, subgroup analyses, count models, and time-to-event models will be used to compare groups and outcomes.
