Adherence to outpatient care among individuals with pre‐existing psychiatric disorders following the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake: A retrospective study

Patients in areas with higher seismic intensity were more likely to miss appointments, probably because of factors such as infrastructure damage and personal losses. Among patients who missed appointments, those with F3 diagnoses were more likely to cite earthquake-related reasons. However, the high overall appointment adherence rate despite the effects of a major earthquake warrants further study.
