Anecdotal evidence suggests that patient compliance with colonoscopy is poorer with Monday procedures and better during winter months since “there is not much else to do”. We examined patients’ compliance to scheduled out-patient endoscopy by time of the day, days of the week and seasons of the year. We included 2,873 patients who were scheduled for endoscopy from September 2009 to August 2010. Compliant patients were those who showed up for their procedures while non-compliant patients were those who did not show up, without canceling or rescheduling their procedures up to 24 hours prior to their scheduled procedures. We used logistic regression models to evaluate the association between the timing of the scheduled procedure and compliance. 574 (20%) patients did not show up. There was no difference in compliance by time of day of the procedures. However, when compared with patients scheduled for procedures on Monday, there was a trend towards improved adherence as the week progressed, becoming significant on Friday (OR=1.46; 95%CI: 1.06–2.00). There was also better compliance in the warmer months. Non-compliance with out-patient endoscopy is substantial among underserved populations with limited predictive pattern of compliance by the timing of the procedures.
