    AbstractTo assess knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of stroke and thrombectomy among medical students in Henan, China. A cross-sectional study was conducted on medical students from 5 universities in Henan, China between June and September, 2022, using a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 1105 medical students [697 (62.1%) females] participated. Their mean KAP scores were 11.1 ± 2.90, 35.37 ± 4.94, and 21.48 ± 5.51 out of 14, 44, and 24, respectively. Structural equation modeling revealed that, age (estimate = 0.351, P = .005) and education (estimate = 0.370, P = .024) positively affected knowledge, while major (estimate = -0.128, P = .017), internship experience in neurosurgery or neurology (estimate = -1.321, P < .001), and family history of stroke (estimate = -0.557, P < .001) negatively influenced knowledge. Knowledge (estimate = 0.649, P < .001) and having seniors over the age of 60 at home (estimate = 1.228, P = .001) had positive effects on attitudes, while internship experience in neurosurgery or neurology (estimate = -0.471, P = .090) and family history of stroke (estimate = -0.596, P = .020) had negative impact on attitudes. Moreover, knowledge (estimate = 0.230, P < .001) and attitudes (estimate = 0.628, P < .001) positively influenced practices, whereas sex (estimate = -1.141, P < .001), internship experience in neurosurgery or neurology (estimate = -0.578, P = .025), and family history of stroke (estimate = -0.523, P = .027) negatively influenced practices. Medical students in Henan, China showed adequate knowledge, positive attitude, and proactive practice toward stroke and thrombectomy. Age, sex, education, major, internship experience in neurosurgery or neurology, family history of stroke, having seniors over the age of 60 at home might have impact on their KAP.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
