↵a IMD quintile of general practice.
↵b IMD quintile of patient's home.
↵c Other factors associated with outcome (P≤0.05) and which are therefore included in the final model also reported.
↵d These variables were unavailable for the referral analysis.
↵e Area 4 data excluded from analysis.
↵f Variables did not improve fit of the model. CVD = cardiovascular disease. NFM = not in final model. NI = not included. NT = not tested. OR = odds ratio.
