Results

Because the third SMS reminder overlapped with the COVID-19 pandemic, the groups assigned to receive two and three SMS reminders were combined for analysis. Compared with the no-reminder group, the one-postcard and one-SMS reminder groups had higher consultation rates (p < 0.001), with no significant difference between them (p = 0.624). The two-SMS reminder group had the highest consultation rate among all groups (p < 0.001).
