ABSTRACT Participants (N = 1050; ages 1–19) were from a multidisciplinary pediatric obesity clinic. There were no significant associations between patient characteristics and attrition from the initial visit to the first follow-up. Multiple linear regressions revealed race and the approximate distance traveled to the clinic was associated with the number of days elapsed between the initial visit and first follow-up, with a small effect size (such that Black/African American children and youth returned to the clinic later; individuals living farther away returned sooner). Days elapsed between the initial visit and first follow-up were associated with the rate of later clinic visits, with moderate effect size.

表征多学科儿童肥胖诊所的出勤模式

摘要参与者（N = 1050； 1-19岁）来自多学科的小儿肥胖症诊所。从初次就诊到第一次随访，患者的特征与减员之间无显着相关性。多元线性回归显示种族和到达诊所的大致距离与首次就诊与首次随访之间经过的天数有关，影响范围较小（例如，黑人/美国黑人儿童和青少年返回诊所）后来；居住在更远的地方的人早点回来了。初次就诊与首次随访之间经过的天数与以后的临床就诊率相关，且影响程度中等。
