Does sex matter? Longitudinal course and predictors of knowledge about immunosuppressant medication in patients after kidney transplantation: a KTx360° substudy

Over the period of the KTx360° trial we observed an increase in knowledge, mainly in patients with below-average baseline knowledge levels. While some improvements might be due to the catch-up effect, other changes suggest a different response to the same stimulus. In sex-specific analyses, we found higher knowledge levels in female participants at the start, but sex did not impact the progression of knowledge levels. Since there was no control group, it is not possible to determine the program's effect on knowledge levels.

Abstract

Over the period of the KTx360° trial we observed an increase in knowledge, mainly in patients with below-average baseline knowledge levels. While some improvements might be due to the catch-up effect, other changes suggest a different response to the same stimulus. In sex-specific analyses, we found higher knowledge levels in female participants at the start, but sex did not impact the progression of knowledge levels. Since there was no control group, it is not possible to determine the program's effect on knowledge levels.
