Implication
May support lack of ethnic bias in IHD registration; leaves open causes of suboptimal rates overall.
Structured PICO
Are there ethnic biases in primary care registration for ischemic heart disease between South Asian and non-South Asian patients?
P
Population
Patients from 12 general practices in Bristol, assessed for ischemic heart disease registration, stratified by South Asian vs non-South Asian ethnicity.
O
Outcome
Rates of ischemic heart disease registration ('observed' vs 'expected' based on national rates)
There appears to be no ethnic bias in primary care registration for ischemic heart disease between South Asian and non-South Asian patients, though overall registration rates are suboptimal.
