| Annotation | The authors used data from the Somerset and Avon Survey of Health and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing and hospital episode statistics database to determine need for, and provision of, total hip and knee replacement in English census wards. In this summary of their paper published on bmj.com, evidence was found of inequity by age, sex, deprivation, rurality and ethnicity, which varied by geography. Hospital and distance variables did not explain the observed inequities. (RH). |
