Key result
An increase in the objective assessment of patient knowledge regarding readiness for hospital discharge was significantly associated with a higher level of adherence to treatment at 6 months (R Spearman = 0.16671, p = 0.015).
Why the study?
Pre-discharge education in myocardial infarction aims to modify behaviour and medication adherence, but the relationship between readiness for hospital discharge and treatment adherence at follow-up needed evaluation.

Does readiness for hospital discharge improve adherence to treatment in patients after myocardial infarction?
Effect estimate: R Spearman = 0.16671
p-value: p=0.015
Higher objective knowledge at discharge is associated with better long-term medication adherence in patients after myocardial infarction.
Kosobucka et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Myocardial infarction (n=213). Readiness for hospital discharge (objective knowledge assessment) vs. Lower readiness for hospital discharge was evaluated on Adherence to treatment at 6 months (ACDS score) (R Spearman = 0.16671, p=0.015). An increase in the objective assessment of patient knowledge regarding readiness for hospital discharge was significantly associated with a higher level of adherence to treatment at 6 months (R Spearman = 0.16671, p = 0.015).
