Abstract

Telemedicine appears to be an effective tool in pediatric emergency care. While our analysis suggests reductions in hospital length of stay and mortality, these findings should be interpreted with caution due to variability and potential confounding across studies. The impact on admission rates remains inconclusive. Nonetheless, telemedicine offers a promising approach to enhancing healthcare delivery and optimizing resource use in pediatric emergency and early post-emergency settings.
