^aIMD quintile of general practice.

^bIMD quintile of patient's home.

^cOther factors associated with outcome (P≤0.05) and which are therefore included in the final model also reported.

^dThese variables were unavailable for the referral analysis.

^eArea 4 data excluded from analysis.

^fVariables did not improve fit of the model. CVD = cardiovascular disease. NFM = not in final model. NI = not included. NT = not tested. OR = odds ratio.
