Figure 5

Concentration curve of the need-standardised enrolment in the Disease Management Programme for coronary heart disease by regional deprivation and sex. 45° line: indicates absence of horizontal inequities. A curve below (above) the 45° line indicates horizontal inequity favoring groups with higher (lower) socio-economic status measured by the German Index of Multiple Deprivation (GIMD). Need variables used for standardization: Cumulative Illness Rating Scale severity index, age, sex and self-rated health. The predicted need-standardised enrolment is adjusted for the non-need factors highest educational attainment, immigration background and social contacts. Prediction based on sample size of N = 720 individuals, derived from a (cross-classified) multi-level logistic regression model. X-axis: cumulative proportion of population ranked by quintiles of the German Index of Multiple Deprivation (GIMD).
