Overview

Lower education linked to adverse risk profile in established CHD; leaves open whether education-targeted strategies improve outcomes.

Structured PICO

Is educational level associated with risk profile and medication compliance in patients with established coronary heart disease?

P
Population
5,556 men and women ≤71 years (1,319 women) who had been hospitalised for acute coronary syndrome or revascularisation procedures, evaluated at least six months after hospitalisation.
I
Intervention
Educational level (primary, secondary, high)
C
Comparator
Comparison across different educational levels
O
Outcome
Association of conventional risk factors, behaviour modification, and medication compliance with educational level

Higher educational level is associated with a lower global coronary risk profile in patients with established coronary heart disease, highlighting the need for tailored risk communication for those with lower education.
