目的：比较短信息服务（SMS）短信和电话提醒对提高健康促进中心出勤率的效果。研究方法：选取2007年4月至2007年5月在我院健康促进中心预约就诊的患者1859名，随机分为3组：对照组（不提醒）、短信提醒组和电话提醒组。收集干预措施的出席率和费用。结果：共有1848名参与者符合分析条件。对照组、短信组和电话组的出勤率分别为80.5%、87.5%和88.3%。短信组和电话组的出勤率均显著高于对照组，其比值比分别为1.698，95%可信区间1.224 ~ 2.316，P=0.001和1.829，95%可信区间1.333 ~ 2.509，P
Objective: To compare the efficacy of a short messaging service (SMS) text messaging and phone reminder to improve attendance rates at a health promotion center. Methods: A total of 1859 participants who had scheduled appointments in the health promotion center of our hospital from April 2007 to May 2007 were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned into 3 groups: control (no reminder) group, SMS text messaging reminder group and telephone reminder group. Attendance rates and costs of interventions were collected. Results: A total of 1848 participants were eligible for analysis. Attendance rates of control, SMS and telephone groups were 80.5%, 87.5% and 88.3%, respectively. The attendance rates were significantly higher in SMS and telephone groups than that in the control group, with odds ratio 1.698, 95% confidence interval 1.224 to 2.316, P=0.001 in the SMS group, and odds ratio 1.829, 95% confidence interval 1.333 to 2.509, P
