The underprivileged area index was developed by Jarman to identify areas with the greatest need for general practitioner services and where general practitioners were under the greatest pressure. We found that in wards that scored the worst on the underprivileged area index the doctor:patient ratios were the highest. We suggest that the index needs to be used with other indicators to identify variations in need in small areas.
弱势群体区域指数由贾曼编制,用于确定最需要全科医生服务以及全科医生面临最大压力的地区。我们发现,在弱势群体区域指数得分最低的病房中,医患比例最高。我们建议,该指数需要与其他指标结合使用,以确定小区域内需求的差异。
