Sociodemographic and Systems Risk Factors Associated With Nil by Mouth Noncompliance and Day-of-Procedure Cancellations: A Retrospective Multicenter Case-Control Study
This multicenter study identified age, race-ethnicity, language of care, and health insurance type as factors associated with the occurrence of NPO noncompliance. Certain demographic and system risk factors were linked to higher rates of day-of-procedure cancelations due to NPO noncompliance. These findings raise concerns regarding disparities in access to care especially in minority populations already at an increased risk of inadequate health care access. Identifying these risk factors can help drive the development of strategies to address inequities and improve access to health care.
