[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2254692, member: 52527"] I think that the link was quite clear that it was using postcode as a proxy for deprivation.The article says, [I]'The only item in QRISK2 that is not already routinely collected and recorded electronically is the Townsend deprivation score, which is linked to an individual postcode. This score has already been integrated into the EMIS clinical system and linked to the records of over 32 million patients. The mapping of postcode to deprivation score will also be made available, together with the supporting reference tables and algorithm itself.' [/I]It also says that the variables used in the calculator include, [I]'Townsend deprivation score12 (output area level 2001 census data evaluated as a continuous variable)'. [/I] There is information about the Townsend deprivation score here:- [URL]http://www.restore.ac.uk/geo-refer/36229dtuks00y19810000.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
