@entity851 ( XXXX ) can Enhance Compliance and Reduce Cancellations in a Sedation Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

@entity1 @entity851 @entity1168
Many outpatients who inadequately prepared for the procedure were cancelled on the day of the examination for various reasons. The aim of study was to investigate whether @entity851 ( @entity851 ) can improve @entity1 ' compliance and reduce cancellation rates. Outpatients scheduled for sedation gastrointestinal endoscopy were randomly assigned to mobile phone @entity851 group or control group. @entity1 in the control group received a leaflet on preparation instructions, while @entity1 in the @entity851 group received @entity851 reminders after making an appointment. A total of 1786 @entity1 were analyzed. There was a significant @entity1168 for @entity1 in the @entity851 group (4.8  %) compared with @entity1 in the control group (8.0  %) (P   <   0.001). @entity1 in the @entity851 group were 40  % less likely to be cancelled by medical staff than @entity1 in the control group. The compliance score of the two groups based on demographic and clinic characteristic distribution showed that for both male and female @entity1 , the compliance score was higher in the @entity851 group than that in the control group (P   =   0.023, P   <   0.001, respectively). Additionally, the compliance score was also significantly higher in the @entity851 group among @entity1 who were under 50  years old, less than an undergraduate education level, experiencing their first time for procedure, or whose procedures were gastroscopy, waiting time was between 4 and 15  days, and schedules were in morning (P    <=   0.032). @entity851 reminders can be considered a complement to conventional preparation instructions, which could help improve the compliance of outpatients and reduce the rate of cancellations.
