Data on whether ethnicity was recorded, sex, age, cancer network of residence, deprivation, proportion of non-whites in the local authority population, and site of cancer were available.
Data on sex, age, cancer network of residence, deprivation, proportion of non-whites in the local authority population, and site of cancer were available.
For the TCR data, logistic regression was then used to fit a fully adjusted model, including sex, age, cancer network of residence, deprivation, proportion of non-whites in the population and site of cancer.
18 Consenting practices were allocated to the intervention and control groups by the trial statistician (HD), using a centrally administered minimisation algorithm that ensured comparability across trial arms in terms of practice size; deprivation; proportion of patients from non-white ethnic groups; prevalence of diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heart failure; and WSD site.
The selection of variables for inclusion in the regression was designed to account for key patient population characteristics (deprivation, proportion aged 65 or over, proportion who were white, proportion who were male), and characteristics of practices that reflect the systematic management of patients with chronic conditions.
Using the "Quebec Model" [ 20], six indicators of material and social deprivation (proportion of persons with a high school diploma, employment/population ratio, average income, proportion of persons living alone, proportion of single parent families, and proportion of separated, divorced, and widowed persons) were extracted from census data.
The census variables for social deprivation are proportion of persons living alone, the proportion of persons separated, divorced or widowed, and the proportion of single parent families.
f Adjusted for confounders; deprivation score, proportion in semi or unskilled social class, proportion households with ethnic minority residents.
The following area-based sociodemographic indicators were included in our analysis: area-based deprivation, the proportion of births to older (aged >35 years) and younger (aged <20 years) mothers, and the proportion of the PCT population deriving from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) backgrounds.
c) As a measure of the extent of deprivation, the proportion of the PCT's population living in the 10percentnt most deprived output areas in England.
According to "Poverty and Deprivation," the proportion of those "disabled or limited in their major activity by chronic ill health" rises sharply as income sinks.
