The purpose of this study is to compare cancellation and no-show rates in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) and exudative macular degeneration (wet AMD).
An anonymous survey was sent to 1,726 retina specialists inquiring as to the number of appointments their patients with DME and wet AMD attended, cancelled, or did not show up for in 2014 and 2015.
Data were obtained on 109,599 appointments. Patients with DME in the U.S. had a 1.591-times increased odds of cancelling or no-showing to their appointments than patients with wet AMD (P < .0001). Patients with DME in Europe had a 1.918-times increased odds of cancelling or no showing to their appointments than patients with wet AMD (P < .0001).
Patients with DME in the U.S. and Europe cancelled and no-showed to their appointments significantly more often than patients with wet AMD. These findings can be taken into consideration when establishing treatment plans for patients with DME. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49:186-190.].
本研究旨在比较糖尿病性黄斑水肿（DME）患者和渗出性黄斑变性（湿性年龄相关性黄斑变性，wet AMD）患者的预约取消率和爽约率。
向1726名视网膜专家发送了一份匿名调查问卷，询问他们的DME和湿性AMD患者在2014年和2015年就诊、取消预约或爽约的次数。
共获得了109599次预约的数据。美国的DME患者取消或爽约预约的几率比湿性AMD患者高1.591倍（P <.0001）。欧洲的DME患者取消或爽约预约的几率比湿性AMD患者高1.918倍（P <.0001）。
美国和欧洲的DME患者取消和爽约预约的情况明显比湿性AMD患者更频繁。在为DME患者制定治疗计划时可考虑这些发现。[《眼科手术、激光与视网膜成像》。2018；49：186 - 190。]
