“…All the information was obtained by self‐report of the patients through a structured and blinded direct questionnaire. All published studies that addressed the causes of nonattendance share this limitation . We believe that the design of the evaluation, the short window of time between the appointment and the telephone blinded structured evaluation could have minimized the potential social desirability bias, understood as the tendency to give responses that are perceived to be more socially accepted in order to avoid a negative evaluation .…”

Summary Background Nonattendance to scheduled appointments in outpatient clinics is a frequent problem in ambulatory medicine with an impact on health systems and patients' health. The characterization of nonattendance is fundamental for the design of appropriate strategies for its management. Aims To identify causes of nonattendance of scheduled ambulatory medical appointments by adult patients. Methods Case and two controls study nested in a prospective cohort. A telephone‐administered questionnaire was applied within the first 72 hours to identify the causes of attendance, nonattendance, or cancellation in patients who had a scheduled appointment to which they had been present, absent, or cancelled. Results A total of 150 absences (cases), 176 attendances, and 147 cancellations (controls) in a prospective cohort of 160 146 scheduled appointments (2012/2013) were included. According to self‐reports in telephone interviews, the most frequent causes of nonattendance were forgetting 44% (66), unexpected competing events 15.3% (23), illness or unwellness 12% (18), work‐related inconvenience 5.3% (8), transport‐related difficulties 4.7% (4), and cause that motivated appointment scheduling already resolved 4.7% (4). Discussion The main cause of nonattendance is forgetting the scheduled appointment, but there is a proportion of different causes that do not respond to reminders but could respond to different strategies.

This study evaluated the impact of a public medical interpreter on the follow-up clinic attendance rate of foreign-born people with HIV who live in Japan. Participants were patients who visited Nagoya Medical Center from 2009 to 2016. Lost to follow-up was defined as an absence from follow-up visits for more than six months without any notification. A log-rank test was conducted to compare the lost-to-follow-up rates by patients' nation of origin and medical interpreter use. Of the 931 participants, 114 were foreign patients, whose overall attendance rate at 5 years was 75.5%, which was significantly lower than that of Japanese patients (94.1%, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in regular attendance with respect to medical interpreter use (p = 0.09). Social support in addition to a medical interpreter may be needed to improve attendance rates in the study population.Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
