Risk analysis capabilities were applied to estimate the relationships between socioeconomic status, which was characterized by quintiles of a multidimensional composite indicator (deprivation index), and mortality due to thromboembolic diseases as well as antithrombotic medications for the year 2016 at the district level in Hungary. According to our findings, although deprivation is a significant determinant of mortality due to thromboembolic diseases, clusters can be identified that represent exemptions to this rule: an eastern part of Hungary, consisting of two highly deprived counties, had significantly lower mortality than the country average; by contrast, the least-deprived northwestern part of the country, consisting of five counties, had significantly higher mortality than the country average. The fact that low socioeconomic status in general and poor adherence to antithrombotic drugs irrespective of socioeconomic status were associated with increased mortality indicates the importance of more efficient control of preventive medication and access to healthcare in all districts of the country to reduce mortality due to thromboembolic diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17186855","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]],"date-time":"2020-09-19T07:06:09Z","timestamp":1600499169000},"page":"6855","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Antithrombotic Preventive Medication Prescription Redemption and Socioeconomic Status in Hungary in 2016: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Attila","family":"Juh\u00e1sz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Administration Service of Government Office of Capital City Budapest, 1056 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Csilla","family":"Nagy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Administration Service of Government Office of Capital City Budapest, 1056 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Orsolya","family":"Varga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kl\u00e1ra","family":"Boruzs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Systems Management and Quality Management in Health Care, Faculty of Public Health, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M\u00e1ria","family":"Csernoch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Library and Information Science, Faculty of Informatics, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zolt\u00e1n","family":"Szab\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R\u00f3za","family":"\u00c1d\u00e1ny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MTA-DE-Public Health Research Group, Department of Public Health and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"OECD\/European Union (2018).
