Table 2 Median comparison of time to resolution (days)

Metric	2017-2022	2023-2025
Median (days)	20.90	5.02
Statistical test used	Mann-Whitney U
U-statistic	241577.0

The difference in medians between the two periods is statistically significant (P < 0.0001), further supporting that the consult shift substantially reduced the time to resolution of diagnostic disagreements.
