Supplementary Table 2 Sensitivity analysis of association (adjusted proportion ratio and 95% CI) between knowledge score and attitude and behavior toward deceased organ donation based on cutoff points of knowledge score.
| Outcomes | Knowledge score | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| ≤12 (n=304) | 13–16 (n=771) | 17–20 (n=115) | |
| Organ donor registration* | 1 [reference] | 0.92 (0.73–1.17) | 0.94 (0.69–1.28) |
| Willingness to donate organs after death** | 1 [reference] | 1.26 (1.04–1.53) | 1.59 (1.22–2.08) |
| * Modified Poisson regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, occupation (medical or non-medical staff), work experience in organ transplantation, family discussion about deceased organ donation, and willingness to donate organs after death; ** Modified Poisson regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, occupation (medical or non-medical staff), work experience in organ transplantation, and family discussion about deceased organ donation. CI – confidence interval. | |||
