Why the study?
The study was conducted to compare patient-reported social determinants of health to the Brokamp Area Deprivation Index and evaluate their associations with mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease.
The Brokamp Area Deprivation Index is associated with mortality in hospitalized ACS patients and can serve as a useful approximation for patient-reported social determinants of health to enhance risk stratification.

ADI may flag mortality risk in hospitalized CVD patients when patient-reported data unavailable; leaves open incremental prognostic value of individual SDOH.
Kostelanetz et al. (2021) studied this question.
