Takeaway
Excessive missed appointment adherence in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) was 4.28%, and the developed prediction model was able to identify people who were more likely to have poor appointment adherence.
Why this matters
Missed appointments in an MS population are associated with suboptimal adherence to disease-modifying therapy (DMT); however, little is known about appointment adherence in this population.
Understanding the rate of, and factors for, missed appointments in a MS population may improve clinical outcomes and lower healthcare costs.
