目标：我们打算在学术环境中确定胃肠病(GI)诊所错过预约的相关因素。背景：错过诊所预约降低了诊所效率，浪费了资源，增加了成本。关于专科门诊就诊的数据有限。研究：我们使用2014年3月至10月在班纳大学医学中心成人胃肠道诊所预约的患者的电子健康记录中的数据进行了一项病例对照研究。在研究期间错过预约的患者为病例。对照组是从研究期间完成预约的患者中随机选择的。采用单因素和多因素Logistic回归分析。结果：2331例预约门诊中，195例(8.4%)错过预约。从转诊到预约的等待时间较长与错过预约显著相关(AOR=1.014；95%CI，1.01-1.02；P
Goals: We intended to identify the factors associated with missed appointments at a gastroenterology (GI) clinic in an academic setting.Background: Missed clinic appointments reduce clinic efficiency, waste resources, and increase costs. Limited data exist on sub-specialty clinic attendance.Study: We performed a case-control study using data from the electronic health record of patients scheduled for an appointment at the adult GI clinic at the Banner University Medical Center between March and October of 2014. Patients who missed their appointment during the study period served as cases. Controls were randomly selected from patients who completed their appointment during the study period. Analysis included univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results: Of 2331 scheduled clinic appointments, 195 (8.4%) were missed appointments. Longer waiting time from referral to scheduled appointment was significantly associated with missed appointment (AOR=1.014; 95% CI, 1.01-1.02; P
