Abstract:
The objective of this study was to audit the demographic characteristics of all new patient presentations at Axis Sports Medicine Specialists practices in Auckland over a one-year period from the 1st of January 2022 to 31st December 2022. This cohort was then compared to the 2018 Auckland Census data using descriptive statistics and stratified by ethnicity and socioeconomic status. There were a total of 15,390 new patient appointments, with our results being consistent with other medical specialities with an under-representation of Indigenous peoples and those of a lower socioeconomic status within our patient population.
