In England I have used the output area classification with success for over 10 years to identify social groups with higher rates of admission. I have found deprivation to be a very crude measure. Alas much of this is not published. but several studies regarding admission to the CCU. Also a couple of studies looking at outbreaks of a mystery disease. See below.
Hope this helps.
