Linking of primary care records to census data to study the association between socioeconomic status and cancer incidence in Southern Europe: a nation-wide ecological study.

<h4>Background</h4>Area-based measures of economic deprivation are seldom applied to large medical records databases to establish population-scale associations between deprivation and disease.<h4>Objective</h4>To study the association between deprivation and incidence of comm...
