Implication

Age- and SES-related disparities in revascularisation rates merit clinical review for equity; leaves open whether these reflect appropriate selection or undertreatment.

Structured PICO

Does age and socioeconomic status influence the probability of undergoing coronary revascularisation in British men?

P
Population
5,814 British men aged 52-73 years from 24 medium-sized towns, with no history of revascularisation as of November 1992.
I
Intervention
Older age (>65 years) and lower socioeconomic status (manual occupation, fewer cars, council tenancy, living outside southern England).
C
Comparator
Younger age (≤65 years) and higher socioeconomic status (non-manual occupation, ≥2 cars, non-council tenancy, living in southern England).
O
Outcome
Incident coronary revascularisations over 7.1 years.hard clinical

Significant inequalities exist in the probability of undergoing coronary revascularisation based on age, socioeconomic status, and geographic location among British men.
