The demographic and time characteristics of FTA and cancelled appointments were analysed using simple and multivariate multinomial regression analysis, to inform interventions that may be necessary.
In total, 26 paired audio-recordings (7 from centre 1, 0 from centre 2 and 19 from centre 3) of surgery and oncology appointments were analysed alongside 14 in-depth patient interviews.
The percentage of completed, FTA and cancelled appointments were analysed in terms of gender, age, residential location, type of patient (public and private), day of the week, time of day, a combination of time of day and day of the week, and by month.
Appointment data were analysed to assess the percentage of completed, failed to attend (FTA) and cancelled appointments at an Australian remote rural student dental clinic training facility.
The number and length of appointments will be analysed by mastery status.
The accept/reject 'would you attend this appointment' question will be analysed using a random effects logit model.
The accept/reject 'would you attend this appointment' question will be analysed using a random effects logit model to adjust for clustering in individuals' responses [ 21].
Women without a known mutation in the family receive an invitation for an appointment after extensive molecular analyses, which may take several months.
We did not include cancelled appointments in our analyses because we assumed that cancellations were to be expected and indicated a reasonable level of involvement in diabetes care.
Firstly, appointment systems in organisations were analysed in differing ways to provide numerical data and, secondly, patient perceptions (reports) of access were evaluated using survey techniques.
