Stroke Knowledge and Emergency Response Survey of 600 Adults

Xiaoxu Guo's KAP study assessed stroke warning sign awareness and help-seeking practices among adults in a hospital catchment population. The retrospective cross-sectional survey collected responses from 600 eligible adults, with results showing 68% identified at least two warning signs and 42% reported appropriate help-seeking practices. The dataset was uploaded to figshare on April 24, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze associations between demographic characteristics and KAP scores based on logistic regression results.
• Identify gaps in stroke warning sign recognition based on the 68% correct identification rate.
• Model factors influencing emergency service activation confidence based on the 55% confidence level.
• Evaluate the impact of prior stroke exposure on help-seeking practices based on the significant association reported.

Strengths

• Survey includes 600 adult participants from an initial screened sample of 750.
• Results include specific percentages for key metrics: 68% for warning signs, 55% for emergency activation confidence, 42% for help-seeking practices.
• Analysis includes statistical significance testing (p < 0.05) for associations with education and prior exposure.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single hospital catchment population.
