Report includes 9,949 patients, with outcomes for 9,217 of them.
Most of the breakdowns of admissions and outcomes are stable at this stage, so this week I want to focus on ethnicity. /1
We had great existing UK data on health inequality by socioeconomic group, but much less on ethnicity. /2
Once we control for other characteristics, the survival difference between the sexes goes away.
Only the most deprived 20% have statistically significant extra risk after we control for other characteristics. /18
- mixed/other ethnicities have similar survival to whites
- once we control for other characteristics, worse survival for black ethnicity is no longer statistically significant
- Asians have significantly poorer survival. /19
Asians and Blacks are 75% more likely to belong to the most deprived 10% overall, and over twice as likely to be most income-deprived. /20
