Awareness of the Saudi population regarding the effects of smoking on fracture healing
The awareness of the detrimental effects of smoking on fracture healing is suboptimal, particularly among men and smokers. Sex, healthcare work, and smoking were significantly associated with knowledge levels after adjusting for confounders. These findings may encourage educational strategies and direct counseling for populations with an observed knowledge gap to help lower the burden and treatment costs.
