a) To describe the methodology used to construct a deprivation index by census tract in cities, identify tracts with least favorable socioeconomic conditions, and b) analyze association between this overall mortality.Several indicators (Census 2001) were defined of following cities: Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Seville Valencia. The correlations standardized mortality ratio (1996-2003), dimensionality studied. Finally, selected aggregated an index, which results factor loadings from extraction...
Abstract Rationale, aims and objectives Online surveys have several advantages, but a low response rate is common it uncertain how results are affected. Response inducement techniques can be used to overcome this problem. The of study were describe the percentage change in after reminders analyse characteristics associated with non‐response late based on survey results, as well by applying archival extrapolation techniques. Method In A utonomous C ommunity M adrid, an online questionnaire...
To present the methodology used in design and implementation of a deprivation index by enumeration district, to describe socioeconomic situation Spain 2011.The unit analysis was district (N=35,960). Data came from 2011 Population Housing Census Spain. Given both sampling nature regulatory limitations data confidentiality, variables were calculated indirectly using complement available variables. Checks made ensure reliability. The selection indicators took into account comparability with...

Methods A cross-sectional ecological was carried out 9 specific death small cities. Using a hierarchical Bayesian spatial model, estimated smoothed Standardized...
The objectives of this study were to estimate incidence density rates (IDR) herpes zoster (HZ) and analyze the association with sociodemographic characteristics selected chronic medical conditions. cohort consisted adult population included in Public Health System Autonomous Community Madrid, Spain on 1/10/2009 (5 244 402 persons). Data source electronic records from primary care between 1/10/2009–31/12/2012. Individual socioeconomic status (SES) was inferred by geocoding. Poisson regression...
Health and inequalities in health among inhabitants of European cities are major importance for public there is great interest how different care systems Europe perform the reduction inequalities. However, evidence on spatial distribution cause-specific mortality across neighbourhoods scarce. This study presents maps avoidable analyses differences between with levels deprivation.We determined level from 14 causes death each neighbourhood 15 large regions. To address problems associated...

No EVD identified 232 contacts investigated. experience has led modification national protocols.
Aims: To explore inequalities in total mortality between small areas of 16 European cities for men and women, as well to analyse the relationship these geographical their socioeconomic indicators. Methods: A cross-sectional ecological design was used (26,229,104 inhabitants). Most had data a period 2000 2008 population size same period. Socioeconomic indicators included an index deprivation, unemployment, educational level. We estimated standardised ratios controlled variability using...
