In addition, having at least one emergency department visit in the prior year (OR 6.50, CI 1.83\u201323.1, p\u2009=\u20090.004) was found to be significant, with a greater difference in patients who had at least three emergency department visits in the prior year (OR 13.2, CI 3.21\u201352.6, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Other studied factors were not found to be statistically significant predictors of missing the surgery appointment, although having best-corrected vision of count fingers or worse neared statistical significance of predicting missing cataract surgery appointment.
