Estimating the burden of underdiagnosis within England: A modelling study of linked primary care data. by Olga Anosova, Anna Head, Brendan Collins, Alexandros Alexiou, Kostas Darras, Matt Sutton, Richard Cookson, Laura Anselmi, Martin O'Flaherty, Ben Barr, Chris Kypridemos

“…For depression/anxiety and stroke, underdiagnosis was estimated to be higher in less deprived CCGs, whilst for CHD and T2DM, it was estimated to be higher in more deprived CCGs, with no apparent relationships for other conditions. We found no uniform spatial patterns of underdiagnosis across all diseases, and the relationship between age, deprivation and the probability of being undiagnosed varied greatly between diseases.…”
