No, I'm SURE they meant to say 'smut' . . . That patients from areas of lower SES had more benign lesions excised for every melanoma seems to go against past experience in other care (the “inverse care law”13). This finding might be partly explained by a higher incidence of melanoma among higherSES patients,14 and could also be influenced by the low participation rate of GPs in areas of low SES. The differences in NNT revealed by our study suggest that GPs could increase their suspicion of pigmented skin lesions (and lower their threshold for excision) among older and male patients and, conversely, decrease suspicion (and raise the threshold to excise) among younger and female patients.
