| Predictor variable | High knowledge scorea | Better Intended practiceb | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| aOR (95% CI) | P-value | aOR (95% CI) | P-value | |
| Education ≥8 standard | 1.778 (0.958, 3.301) | 0.068 | 0.391 (0.095, 1.615) | 0.194 |

| Knowledge score more than median | - | - | 1.065 (0.249, 4.556) | 0.933 |
aHigh knowledge score is a score more than median knowledge score of 1, bBetter intended practice is defined as presence of all 3 practices (infection control, fracture management and managing blood loss from fracture). *Significant at 95% CI. CI: Confidence interval, aOR: Adjusted odds ratio
