(A) Median number of prescriptions dispensed for different inhaler subsets at LSOA level. Dashed white lines show the national median, red and green lines show the median for LSOAs in the most and least deprived deciles respectively. The distribution of the sample is displayed with ribbons showing the 50th, 80th, and 95th percentile in black, dark grey, and light grey, respectively. (B) The median percentage increase in number of prescriptions dispensed for each subset for the LSOAs in the least deprived decile, the national median, and the LSOAs in the most deprived decile. ICS inhaled corticosteroid, IMD index of multiple deprivation, LABA long-acting beta agonist, LAMA long-acting muscarinic antagonist, LSOA lower layer super output area, SABA short-acting beta agonist.
