UNASSIGNED: Preclinical studies suggest that @entity1358 ( @entity1358 ) may improve post- @entity64 recovery, and clinical trials investigating safety are ongoing. However, knowledge about @entity1 ' attitudes to @entity1358 in @entity64 is limited. We evaluated the knowledge and attitudes to this therapeutic approach as well as possible factors influencing this among @entity64 @entity1 potentially suitable for @entity1358 . Consecutive first-ever acute @entity63 @entity64 @entity1 aged 20-75 years with @entity64 scale scores 1-18 were included. Exclusion criteria were severe comorbidities or @entity64 . Clinical follow-up after 3-5 years assessed severity of @entity64 , cognitive function, functional status, @entity1 -reported outcome, comorbidity, and after receiving standardized information, the @entity1 also completed an 8-item questionnaire on knowledge and attitudes about @entity1358 . The relations between clinical variables and positive attitude to @entity1358 were assessed with logistic regression analyses. Of 108 @entity1 included at baseline, 84 participated at follow-up and completed the questionnaire. In total, 12% had prior knowledge of @entity1358 . When informed, 63% were positive towards it and 36% reported willingness to participate in @entity1358 trials. Only 5-8% expressed ethical considerations regarding different stem cell sources. Positive attitudes to @entity1358 were associated with male gender (OR: 3.74; 95% CI: 1.45-9.61; p<0.01) and better @entity1 -reported outcome (OR: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00-1.04; p<0.05). In conclusion, @entity64 @entity1 had limited prior knowledge of @entity1358 , yet attitudes were positive among the majority after receiving standardized and neutral information. Gender and degree of @entity64 recovery may influence attitudes to @entity1358 , indicating a need for targeted information to improve knowledge about @entity1358 .
