Associations between neighborhood deprivation and mortality up to 90 days following incident stroke. Dijon stroke registry, period 1998–2010.
| Deaths, n. | Person-days (1000s) | Hazard ratio* (95% CI) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adjusted for age and gender | p | Adjusted for age, gender stroke type and severity | p | |||
| All follow-up time | 284 | 138 | 1.32 (1.00 – 1.73) | 0.05 | 1.43 (1.07 – 1.89) | 0.01 |
| Time in acute care | 221 | 26 | 1.01 (0.71 – 1.43) | 0.97 | 1.11 (0.81 – 1.54) | 0.51 |

*HR for a 6.6 unit increase in deprivation score, which corresponds to the difference between the average scores of the highest and the lowest thirds of neighbourhoods (cf. table 1).
Dijon Stroke Registry, 1998–2010.
NB :because some patients were never admitted in acute care, the sum of deaths (and of person-days) occurring in acute care and post-acute care does not tally with the total number of deaths recorded during the entire follow-up.
