Objective: We aim to assess and quantify basic knowledge about TAO in patients presenting to an endocrinology clinic and the effect of different educational materials on patients' knowledge. Methods: This study was conducted in a tertiary care center involving 255 patients presenting to an endocrinology clinic. The study was divided into three consecutive phases: 1. a control phase without any educational materials in the waiting room, 2. exposure to educational posters, and 3. exposure to educational pamphlets. Results: In the control population, only 16.5% of patients reported having knowledge of TAO, with a low average TAO-K score of 29.8 (out of 100). After the poster and pamphlet interventions, the percentage of patients having any knowledge of TAO increased across the control, poster and pamphlet phases: 16.5%, 25.9%, 63.5% respectively (p |
