| Q1 most deprived | 0.71 (0.66 to 0.75), p<0.001 | 0.79 (0.73 to 0.85), p<0.001 |
| Q2 | 0.78 (0.73 to 0.83), p<0.001 | 0.84 (0.77 to 0.90), p<0.001 |
| Q3 | 0.88 (0.84 to 0.94), p<0.001 | 0.92 (0.86 to 0.98), p=0.02 |
| Q4 | 0.91 (0.86 to 0.96), p=0.001 | 0.94 (0.88 to 1.00), p=0.05 |
| Q5 least deprived | Reference risk ratio=1.00 | Reference risk ratio=1.00 |
| Not known | 0.81 (0.71 to 0.94), p=0.005 | 0.88 (0.75 to 1.04), p=0.14 |
