Risk factors for incomplete telehealth appointments among patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the urgent implementation of telehealth visits in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) care; however, data assessing feasibility remain limited.

Objectives

We looked to determine the completion rate of telehealth appointments for adults with IBD, as well as to evaluate demographic, clinical, and social predictors of incomplete appointments.

Design

We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients with IBD who had at least one scheduled telehealth visit at the NYU IBD Center between 1 March 2020 and 31 August 2021, with only the first scheduled telehealth appointment considered.

Methods

Medical records were parsed for relevant covariables, and multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the adjusted association
