Predictive model-based interventions to reduce outpatient no-shows: a rapid systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Outpatient no-shows have important implications for costs and the quality of care. Predictive models of no-shows could be used to target intervention delivery to reduce no-shows. We reviewed the effectiveness of predictive model-based interventions on outpatient no-shows, intervention costs, acceptability, and equity.

Materials and methods

Rapid systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs. We searched Medline, Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, IEEE Xplore, and Clinical Trial Registries on March 30, 2022 (updated on July 8, 2022). Two reviewers extracted outcome data and assessed the risk of bias using ROB 2, ROBINS-I, and confidence in the evidence using GRADE. We calculated risk ratios (RRs) for the relationship between the intervention and no-sh
