Multivariate analysis of differences in the proportion of adult patients (≥45 years) with up to date blood pressure monitoring in general practices in the least deprived and most deprived fifths of the “super output areas”* in England. Results shown only for those variables with significant association
| Practice characteristic | Adjusted regression coefficient B (95% CI) | Standardised adjusted regression coefficient β |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of population black† | −0.19 (−0.20 to −0.17) | −0.25 (P<0.001) |
| No of full time equivalent general practitioners | −0.22 (−0.27 to −0.18) | −0.13 (P<0.001) |
| List size per full time equivalent general practitioner | 0.00 (−0.001 to −0.00) | −0.07 (P<0.001) |
| Index of multiple deprivation, 2004, score | −0.02 (0.01 to 0.03) | 0.06 (P<0.001) |
