      mellitus: a systematic review.

AB  - Keeping regular medical appointments is a key indicator of patient engagement in 
      diabetes care. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of adults with type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) miss their regular medical appointments. In order to 
      prevent and delay diabetes-related complications, it is essential to understand 
      the factors associated with missed appointments among adults with T2DM. We 
      synthesized evidence concerning factors associated with missed appointments among 
      adults with T2DM. Using five electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, 
      Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO and Web of 
      Science, a systematic literature search was done to identify studies that 
      describe factors related to missed appointments by adults with T2DM. A total of 
      18 articles met the inclusion criteria. The majority of studies included in this 
      review were cohort studies using medical records. While more than half of the 
      studies were of high quality, the operational definitions of missed appointments 
      varied greatly across studies. Factors associated with missed appointments were 
      categorized as patient characteristics, healthcare system and provider factors 
      and interpersonal factors with inconsistent findings. Patient characteristics was 
      the most commonly addressed category, followed by health system and provider 
      factors. Only three studies addressed interpersonal factors, two of which were 
      qualitative. An increasing number of people live with one or more chronic 
      conditions which require more careful attention to patient-centered care and 
      support. Future research is warranted to address interpersonal factors from 
      patient perspectives to better understand the underlying causes of missed 
      appointments among adults with T2DM.
