Abstract
Health literacy represents the degree to which patients can understand and act on health information. The relevance of health literacy to health care delivery, outcomes, and overall surgical care is unambiguous. This study aimed (1) to determine the prevalence of limited health literacy in patients diagnosed with Dupuytren's contracture and (2) to identify independent predictors of limited health literacy.
