摘要
Background:Patients with epilepsy (PWE), especially those with Idiopathic Epilepsy (GE), are at a high risk of disadvantage caused by non-adherence. It has been suggested that medical visit behavior may be a surrogate indicator of medication adherence. We hypothesized that patients with IGE would adhere poorly to visits. Methods:This was a retrospective study of PWE who visited the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Hokkaido University Hospital between January 2017 and December 2019. Demographic and clinical information on PWE were extracted from medical records and visit data from the medical information system. Non-attendance of outpatient appointments was defined as "not showing up for the day of an appointment without prior notice." Mixed-effects logistic regression analysis was conducted with nonattendance as the objective variable. Results:Of the 9151 total appointments, 413 were non-attendances, with an overall non-attendance rate of 4.5%. IGE was a more frequent non-attendance than Focal Epilepsy (FE) (odds ratio (OR) 1.94; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17-3.21; p = 0.010). History of public assistance receipt was associated with higher non-attendance (OR 2.04; 95% CI 1.22-3.43; p = 0.007), while higher education (OR 0.64; 95% CI 0.43- 0.93; p = 0.021) and farther distance to a hospital (OR 0.33; 95% CI 0.13-0.88; p = 0.022), and higher frequency of visits (OR 0.18; 95% CI 0.04-0.86; p = 0.031) were associated with fewer non-attendances. In a subgroup analysis of patients with GE, women were associated with fewer non-attendance (OR 0.31; 95% CI 0.14-0.72; p = 0.006). Conclusions:GE was more frequent in the non-attendance group than in the FE group. Among patients with GE, females were found to have non-attendance less frequently; however, there was no clear difference in the odds of non-attendance between Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) and IGE other than JME. & COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc.
