We report on the first open-label, parallel group randomised controlled trial of automated appointment reminders in a psychosis community service in the UK. Ninety-five patients were randomly allocated to receiving/not receiving automated messaging reminders 7 days and 1 day before appointments. All 'Attended' and 'Missed' appointment outcomes over 6 months were analysed using cluster regression analysis. Reminded appointments were significantly more frequently attended than non-reminded appointments (unadjusted odds ratio (OR) = 3.54, 95% CI 1.36-9.22, P = 0.01; adjusted OR = 2.95, 95% CI 1.05-8.85, P < 0.05). Automated messaging reminders can provide a robust strategy for promoting engagement with psychosis services.

我们报告了英国一项针对精神病社区服务中自动预约提醒的首次开放标签、平行组随机对照试验。95名患者被随机分配在预约前7天和1天接收/不接收自动消息提醒。使用聚类回归分析对6个月内所有“就诊”和“错过”的预约结果进行了分析。收到提醒的预约就诊频率显著高于未收到提醒的预约(未调整优势比(OR)=3.54,95%置信区间1.36 - 9.22,P = 0.01;调整后OR = 2.95,95%置信区间1.05 - 8.85,P < 0.05)。自动消息提醒可为促进参与精神病服务提供有力策略。利益声明 作者声明与当前工作不存在竞争性财务利益。莎拉·麦卡利斯特得到了国王学院本科研究奖学金的支持。
