Résumé
We investigated associations between multiple sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age, occupational social class, education and ethnicity) and self-reported healthcare disruptions during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Coordinated analysis of prospective population surveys. Community-dwelling participants in the UK between April 2020 and January 2021. Over 68 000 participants from 12 longitudinal studies. Self-reported healthcare disruption to medication access, procedures and appointments. Prevalence of healthcare disruption varied substantially across studies: between 6% and 32% reported any disruption, with 1%-10% experiencing disruptions in medication, 1%-17% experiencing disruption in procedures and 4%-28% experiencing disruption in clinical appointments. Females (OR 1.27; 95% CI 1.15 to 1.40; I Healthcare disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic could contribute to the maintenance or widening of existing health inequalities.
