Chapter 2 46 Hospitalisation DSR were more than two-fold higher in individuals with a non-Western migration background compared to ethnic-Dutch individuals (RR=2.36, 95%CI=2.17-2.54), with 57 additional hospitalisations per 100.000 population (RD=57.05, 95%CI=43.3470.75). No statistically significant difference was observed between individuals with a Western migration background and ethnic-Dutch individuals. Further stratification by specific large non-Western ethnic groups living in Amsterdam (Dutch Antillean, Moroccan, Surinamese, Turkish and Ghanaian) is presented in Supplementary Table S3. Compared to the ethnic-Dutch population, the hospitalisation RR were highest among individuals of Ghanaian (RR=4.25, 95%CI=3.31-5.19; RD=136.75, 95%CI=-29.83-303.33) and Turkish ethnic origin (RR=3.08, 95%CI=2.72-3.43; RD=87.31, 95%CI=44.51-130.11). In our additional age-stratified analysis, we found that individuals <60 years with a non-Western migration background had a three-fold higher DSR compared to ethnicDutch individuals <60 years (RR=3.18, 95%CI=2.85-3.52), while the DSR was reduced but remained almost two-fold higher in individuals ≥60 years (RR=1.83, 95% CI: 1.57-2.09) (Supplementary Tables S4 and S5). After stratifying by city district, the DSR was highest in non-Western residents of peripheral districts (Supplementary Figure S4): three times greater than in ethnic-Dutch residents of central districts RR=3.13, 95%CI=2.88-3.38; RD=76.64, 95%CI=57.38-95.89) (Figure 2).
