Patient, hospital, and general practitioner characteristics associated with non-attendance: a cohort study.

William Hamilton¹, Alison Round, Deborah Sharp.

Abstract

Studies examining characteristics of non-attendance at hospital outpatients have given inconsistent results. We examined a cohort of 1972 referrals from 26 general practitioners, with complete follow-up. Five factors were found to be significantly associated with non-attendance: male sex, younger age, longer interval between referral and appointment, higher Jarman score and patients of a high-referring general practitioner. Targeting of strategies to reduce non-attendance is possible using these results.
