Study objective : The drive to tackle health inequalities at the local level has increased interest in mortality data for small populations. There is some concern that nursing homes may affect measures of mortality for small populations, but there has been little in depth analysis of this. Design and setting : Deaths between 1997 and 2001 and population figures from the GP register (Exeter) database and census 2001 were used to produce life expectancy (LE) figures for all electoral wards in West Sussex. The proportion of those dying within each ward that had been residents of nursing homes was calculated and the relation between these variables and deprivation investigated. Results : There was a significant linear relation between nursing home deaths and LE (p=0.0982). Multiple linear regression shows that over 60% of the variation in LE at ward level can be explained by both nursing home deaths and deprivation (p
