Telemedicine Integrated Care Versus In-Person Care Mode for Patients With Short Stature: Comprehensive Comparison of a Retrospective Cohort Study
We contend that the rise in medical visits facilitated by integrating telemedicine into care effectively restored the previously constrained number of medical visits to their usual levels, without increasing costs. Our research underscores that administering prompt treatment may enable physicians to seize a crucial treatment opportunity for children with short stature, thus attaining superior results.
