Key result
Higher education level (AOR 3.05; 95% CI 1.62-5.74) and urban residence (AOR 2.07; 95% CI 1.05-4.1) were significantly associated with adequate knowledge of stroke risk factors among cardiac patients.
Why the study?
Accurately identifying stroke warning signs prevents delays in seeking medical attention and secondary complications, prompting an evaluation of cardiac patients' knowledge of stroke risk factors and warning signs.

Targeted education may address knowledge gaps in lower-educated rural cardiac patients; leaves open effects on clinical outcomes.
Workina et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart Disease (n=227). Higher education level vs. Lower education level was evaluated on Adequate knowledge of stroke risk factors (AOR 3.05, 95% CI 1.62-5.74, p=<0.05). Higher education level (AOR 3.05; 95% CI 1.62-5.74) and urban residence (AOR 2.07; 95% CI 1.05-4.1) were significantly associated with adequate knowledge of stroke risk factors among cardiac patients.
