Widjaja et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in recurrent stroke or transient ischemic attack (n=215). Stroke knowledge was evaluated on Relationship between stroke knowledge and medication adherence (adjusted OR 4.37, 95% CI 2.00-9.53, p=< 0.001). Stroke knowledge level was independently associated with medication adherence among stroke survivors (adjusted OR 4.37; 95% CI 2.00-9.53; p < 0.001).
