However, the incidence, causes, and related factors of ophthalmic inpatient surgery cancellation remained largely unknown.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The electronic medical records of ophthalmic inpatient surgeries between January 2012 and December 2022 was retrospectively reviewed. Cancellation-related factors were explored using multivariate logistic regression analysis and the reasons of cancellation were also evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 820 cancelled surgeries and 42,073 performed surgeries were included, with a cancellation rate of 1.9%. Any other ocular comorbidities were risk factors for cancellation (odds ratio (OR) 1.872, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.504\u20132.331; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), while older age (OR 0.990, 95% CI 0.986\u20130.995; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), local residence (OR 0.809, 95% CI 0.692\u20130.947; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.008), any systemic comorbidities (OR 0.740, 95% CI 0.616\u20130.889; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), and previous history of surgeries (OR 0.403, 95% CI 0.341\u20130.476; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) were negatively associated with surgery cancellation. The top two categorical cancellation reasons were medical factors (508, 62.0%) and patient-related factors (285, 34.8%). \u201cPatient\/family refused surgery\u201d (127, 15.5%), \u201cacute conjunctivitis or uveitis relapse\u201d (103, 12.6%), and \u201cocular condition improved and procedure no longer indicated\u201d (71, 8.7%) were the three most common single cancellation reasons.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Any other ocular comorbidities, younger age, no systemic comorbidities, non-local residence, and no past surgical history were related factors for ophthalmic inpatient surgery cancellation. The majority of cancellations were due to patient-related or medical factors. Great importance should be attached to the cancellation of the more complicated inpatient surgeries and further efforts are warranted to explore how to reduce cancellation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2024.1406140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,29]],"date-time":"2024-08-29T05:08:33Z","timestamp":1724908113000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Cancellation
