Abstract

We assessed the appropriate geographic scale to apply an area deprivation index (ADI), which reflects a geographic area's level of socioeconomic deprivation and is associated with health outcomes, to identify and screen patients for social determinants of health. We estimated the relative strength of the association between the ADI at various geographic levels and a range of hospitalization rates by using age-adjusted odds ratios in an 8-county region of New York State. The 10-km local ADI estimates had the strongest associations with all hospitalization rates (higher odds ratios) followed by estimates at 20 km, 30 km, and the regional scale. A locally sensitive ADI is an ideal measure to identify and screen for the health care and social services needs and to advance the integration of social determinants of health with clinical treatment and disease prevention.

  • Existing research has explored integrating patient SDoH data with geospatial datasets like census demographics and social vulnerability index (SVI) to estimate SDoH factors at a community or neighborhood level.

    From Social determinants of health extraction from clinical notes across institutions using large language models (2025) · cites this paper as [43]

    The Results describe a local area deprivation index built from 17 census variables, and the Methods compare it with hospitalization data aggregated by ZIP code. This supports estimating neighborhood-level deprivation, but the paper does not report integrating patient SDoH data with geospatial datasets or using a social vulnerability index (SVI).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
