The aim was to assess the relationship between social deprivation, as measured by the Jarman under-privileged area score (UPA score), and psychiatric admission rates and length of stay within an inner London borough.
The study was a retrospective survey of psychiatric admission rates for electoral wards in the London borough of Islington in relation to Jarman UPA scores and subscores.
Islington Health Authority psychiatric admission wards at the Whittington and Friern Hospitals.
All admissions during the year of 1985 were studied (n = 778).
No correlation was found between the total Jarman UPA score and either admission rates or length of stay. There was, however, a correlation between the Jarman UPA subscore for ethnic minorities and admission rates (r = 0.409, p less than 0.05), and between the Jarman UPA subscore for lone parents and length of stay (r = 0.390, p less than 0.05).
The Jarman UPA score at electoral ward level is not related to psychiatric morbidity, and should not therefore be used for planning local service provision.
旨在评估以贾曼贫困地区得分（UPA得分）衡量的社会剥夺与伦敦市中心一个行政区内的精神科住院率及住院时长之间的关系。
该研究是一项回顾性调查，调查了伦敦伊斯林顿行政区各选区与贾曼UPA得分及子得分相关的精神科住院率。
惠廷顿医院和弗里恩医院的伊斯林顿卫生局精神科住院病房。
研究了1985年全年的所有住院患者（n = 778）。
未发现贾曼UPA总得分与住院率或住院时长之间存在相关性。然而，贾曼UPA少数族裔子得分与住院率之间存在相关性（r = 0.409，p < 0.05），贾曼UPA单亲家庭子得分与住院时长之间存在相关性（r = 0.390，p < 0.05）。
选区层面的贾曼UPA得分与精神疾病发病率无关，因此不应将其用于规划当地服务提供。
