The effectiveness of varenicline stratified by socioeconomic position. Partial adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the association of prescription of varenicline versus NRT and smoking cessation at 3, 6 and 9 months and 1, 2 and 4 years after exposure, by level of deprivation as measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivation Score (IMD). IMD is an increasing measure of neighbourhood disadvantage; models were adjusted for age, sex and year of first prescription. Missing IMD values were not imputed and patients with missing IMD data were excluded from all analyses, to ensure comparability of results across samples. Legend: □ Patients from least deprived areas (IMD scores 1 to 10), N = 52 534. ▴ Patients from most deprived areas (IMD scores 11 to 20), N = 72 247.
