The exponential increase in infections leads the WHO to declare a pandemic risk for what has been called coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19). The first cases were objectified in Spain, in the city of Madrid, in February 2020.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For the first time in the life of a large part of the Spanish population, a virus puts the health system in check. Hospitals collapse and declare a disaster situation. The infections that affect healthcare professionals reach the highest figures among our neighboring countries. In this situation of high risk of contagion and lack of protective measures for healthcare providers and patients, remote medical assistance takes a leading role. Its objective is to reduce the rate of infections and save on personal protective equipment (PPE).</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Given the lockdown situation during the recently exposed global health crisis, a remote option to offer clinical services to urological patients has been required. Telemedicine has been defined in the literature as the application of technology tools for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> Likewise, teleconsultation implies the use of communication devices (computer, telephone or laptops) to carry out a consultation between a patient and a healthcare professional (teleconsultation) or between two physicians (interprofessional consultation or eConsult).</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There are few data in the literature about teleconsultation regarding the urology specialty, and these indicate that it is well received by urology patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> To date, some urology referral centers already include teleconsultation as an alternative to face-to-face care in the postoperative follow-up of prostate cancer patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The information published so far on the use of teleconsultation mentions the actions carried out by health care institutions and the types of teleconsultations that can be implemented.

Prior to the study, there was no telemedicine experience in this department.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Teleconsultation is defined as a telephone consultation carried out with the patient, family member or caregiver of their choice, either from the hospital or from the urologist's home, through the electronic medical records software implemented in the hospital. In this way, the telephone anamnesis is carried out, and the results of the complementary tests are analyzed with the patient or family member. When the consultation is considered to be resolved, the next appointment is requested, together with the complementary tests, which are sent by ordinary mail to the patient. If, in contrast, the teleconsultation is considered insufficient or incomplete, an appointment is arranged for a face-to-face evaluation of the patient by their usual urologist.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There are no video consultation systems implemented to carry out more sophisticated types of telemedicine.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In a prospective manner, without the physicians having prior knowledge, a survey of patient perceived quality of urological care during the COVID-19 pandemic through teleconsultation is proposed, with a quality survey consisting of 11 questions (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>). The surveyed patients receive information on the objective of the study, and since the consultation is by telephone, their oral consent is requested for their participation. An estimate of the sample size was made from the total number of patients treated by telephone consultation during the selected period, considering a variability of 10%, an alpha error of 5% and a nonresponse substitution of 30%. Thus, the estimated number of patients was 200.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Of a total of 4639 patients with appointments for urology consultations during the period of study (2760 in specialty medical centers and 1879 dedicated outpatient clinics), 200 patients were randomly selected from specialized consultations. A total of 205 patients were evaluated in face-to-face visits, as these were concerning pathological anatomy results. Randomization was carried out by the OxMaR (Oxford Minimization and Randomization) program,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> and patients were identified and distributed homogeneously among the various subspecialties (andrology, reconstructive, functional, neurourology, lithiasis, BPH, general urologic oncology, advanced oncology).

Access to medical records as well as collection and management of confidential data were carried out exclusively at the computer system of Hospital Universitario La Paz. The data obtained was protected by assigning a new code number to each medical record which was stored in a file with forbidden access to anyone outside the study or its evaluation, so that subsequent use of the information collected in the data sheet is carried out anonymously.

Forty-five (22.5%) were women and the most frequent civil status was married (18% single, 62% married, 20% widowed). During the teleconsultation, 18% of them needed help from a family member or caregiver. The distribution of patients surveyed among the specialized consultations was homogeneous to the number of consultations cited in the period, with a greater representation of urologic oncology patients (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#fig0010">Figs. 2 and 3</a>), 92% being subsequent consultations and the remaining 8% were initial consultations.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0015"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">During the pandemic period, 60% of patients avoided going to a medical center. The main reason for not attending was medical advice in 66 patients (55%) and fear of exposing themselves to risk of contagion in 42 (35%), the remaining causes were transport issues or other. Only 2 (1%) of the surveyed patients were positive for SARS-CoV-2 by PCR. The modification or suspension of consultations and tests was frequent (68.5%) during the healthcare crisis. In terms of cancellations, 42%, 59%, 3.5% and 1% of the surveyed patients had canceled complementary tests, medical consultations, treatments, and interventions, respectively. There were no elective surgeries performed in our center during the month of study, due to the unavailability of operating rooms, and 100% of oncological procedures were deferred in the period described.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite maintaining the activity of telematic consultations by physicians, 20 patients of the surveyed patients (10%) experienced worse urological symptoms during lockdown. With a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest score in each question, the median clarity of the teleconsultation scored 9 ( 8-10 IQR) and patient-perceived clinician kindness scored  9 (8−10 IQR). The time spent in teleconsultation was <span class="elsevierStyleBold"><</span> 5 min in 30% of the consultations, 5−8 min in 50%, and 8−12 min in 20%, being the patient-perceived impression of the time spent of  9 (8−10 IQR ) and carried out in the appropriate schedule in 96.5% (88% morning shift and 12% afternoon shift). The median number of patients per teleconsultation was  21 (18−25 IQR). When receiving the telephone call, 46% had all the requested tests completed for the performance of the teleconsultation.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Physicians considered that the subjective resolution of the consultation was achieved in 144 (72%) cases; 15 (8%) did not know and 39 (20%) said it was not resolved-delayed. Patients were contacted in 162 cases (81%) by their urologist, 18 patients (9%) by another urologist, and 18 (9%) did not know who their urologist was. The global level of satisfaction with teleconsultation was 9 (8−10 IQR), considering teleconsultation as a «health care option» after the health crisis by 61.5% of the survey participants.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">No statistical association was found between the level of satisfaction and the fear of going to a consultation (p = 0,12), age (p = 0,61), nor with the consultation being performed by their urologist (p = 0,61) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a>). The consultations considered to be decisive obtained a higher level of satisfaction, as well as being considered a new "healthcare option". Despite a high level of satisfaction with teleconsultation, the least satisfied patients were those who consulted for lithiasis or andrology (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0020">Fig. 4</a>). In the analysis by subspecialties, the patients who were more likely to maintain teleconsultation as an option are those with lower urinary tract symptoms and oncology (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0025">Fig. 5</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0005"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0020"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0025"></elsevierMultimedia></span><span id="sec0020" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Discussion</span><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There is consensus on the need to introduce the opinion of users in health care institutions.

The latter has been evaluated by few studies,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> and to date no study has been published on the satisfaction of urology patients treated by teleconsultation in Spain.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Moreover, certain patient groups that are more vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection are also those that require more assistance in urology consultation (male patients, seniors, neoplastic diseases …) which seem perfect for teleconsultation during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The results of this study show a high level of satisfaction, with a median score of 9 out of 10, and 61.5% of the patients have considered teleconsultations as an appropriate option to be incorporated into the organizational chart. These satisfaction rate could even increase if patients are warned in advance about receiving the telephone call.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Likewise, the response rate of the telephone survey has been high, even more than those reported in the literature, delivered through other means such as postal mail.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10,11</span></a></p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Considering that the COVID-19 pandemic circumstances may have generated a certain feeling of healthcare isolation due to difficulty in accessing the system, the evaluated population has been very receptive to teleconsultation. Therefore, a limitation of the study could be that the fear of going to the healthcare center during the pandemic period may have increased the perceived satisfaction, so our results could not be extrapolated to an ordinary situation. However, no statistical association has been found between fear of contagion and satisfaction, age, or patients being treated by their urologist.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another limitation of the study may be the time elapsed from teleconsultations until the performance of the survey, one month in several cases, which can be somehow long, and patient’s perceptions could have been forgotten.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However, there is no Hawthorne effect bias, since the healthcare providers were not aware of being evaluated during the teleconsultations, as it was posed a posteriori, so the aspects on the physician's attitude during the interview should not be biased (treatment, kindness, information received), and these obtained very high scores from patients.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">No significant differences have been found between the pathology and the level of satisfaction, since satisfaction has been very high in all subgroups. However, the least satisfied patients have been those monitored for lithiasis or andrology, and the most satisfied patients were those consulting for urologic oncology and lower urinary tract symptoms. If we look for the ideal urological patient profile for teleconsultation, we could start with this group of patients.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding the usefulness of teleconsultation, having all the complementary tests performed was a determining factor for the resolution of the consultation. The outcomes in the pandemic scenario are probably worse, since many tests were canceled: up to 68.5% of patients have had their consultations or tests postponed, and the consultation has been carried out without having the tests performed. Despite this, the resolution rate has been high, with 72% overall resolution according to urologists. This could suggest that many of the tests requested within the various protocols could be avoided. However, there is no data on which of them, or under what circumstances.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0095">Conclusion</span><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Satisfaction with teleconsultations during the COVID-19 pandemic has been rated with a high score, providing continuous care to urology patients during the health crisis.</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There is no statistical association between the type of urological pathology and the suitability of teleconsultation, nor with age, therefore it could be offered to all urology patients who do not require an in-person physical examination.</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The perceived quality shows an optional telematic care field in selected patients, which should be re-evaluated when the confinement situation is over.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0100">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:11 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1414850" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:5 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" "titulo" => "Objective" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0015" "titulo" => "Material and methods" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0020" "titulo" => "Results" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0025" "titulo" => "Conclusion" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1294919" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1414851" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:5 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0030" "titulo" => "Introducción" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0035" "titulo" => "Objetivo" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0040" "titulo" => "Material y métodos" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0045" "titulo" => "Resultados" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0050" "titulo" => "Conclusión" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1294918" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Material and methods" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Conclusion" ] 9 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Conflicts of interest" ] 10 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2020-06-04" "fechaAceptado" => "2020-06-07" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1294919" "palabras" => array:6 [ 0 => "COVID19" 1 => "SARS-COv-2" 2 => "Urology" 3 => "Telemedicine" 4 => "Teleconsultation" 5 => "Satisfaction." ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1294918" "palabras" => array:6 [ 0 => "COVID19" 1 => "SARS-COv-2" 2 => "Urología" 3 => "Telemedicina" 4 => "Teleconsulta" 5 => "Satisfacción." ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:3 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0010">Introduction</span><p id="spar0035" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">The global pandemic of COVID-19 has led to rapid implementation of telemedicine, but there is little information on patient satisfaction of this system as an alternative to face-to-face care.</p></span> <span id="abst0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0015">Objective</span><p id="spar0040" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">To evaluate urological patient satisfaction with teleconsultation during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p></span> <span id="abst0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0020">Material and methods</span><p id="spar0045" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Observational, prospective, cross-sectional, non-interventional study carried out by telephone survey during the period considered as the peak of the pandemic (March-April 2020).
