Overview

Education-linked CAD knowledge gaps may shape counseling; leaves open whether literacy-focused interventions improve outcomes.

Structured PICO

P
Population
600 patients aged 30-80 years undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan, assessed for their knowledge of coronary artery disease risk factors.
O
Outcome
Knowledge of CAD risk factors and post-management of coronary intervention, assessed via a structured 10-point questionnairepatient reported

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 8.59% vs 4.42%

p-value: p=0.01

Patients undergoing PCI in Pakistan demonstrate significant knowledge gaps regarding CAD risk factors and post-intervention lifestyle management, highlighting the need for targeted educational programs.

Limitations

  • Single city study conducted only in Karachi
  • Majority of participants belonged to low socioeconomic status and illiterate population
  • Potential overestimation of knowledge due to the structured questionnaire format
  • Potential recall bias from relying on participants' ability to recall answers
  • Single city study (Karachi)
  • Potential overestimation of knowledge due to the use of a structured questionnaire
  • Recall bias

Haseeb et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary Artery Disease (undergoing PCI) (n=600). Higher education level (bachelors or higher) vs. No formal education was evaluated on Mean knowledge score of CAD risk factors (out of 10) (p=0.01). Patients with a bachelor's degree or higher had a significantly higher mean knowledge score of CAD risk factors (8.59) compared to those with no formal education (4.42, p=0.01).
