Potential solutions include a review of Santa’s contract or employment of local Santas in poorly represented regions. Santa Claus is less likely to visit children in hospitals in the most deprived areas. In contrast, there was no correlation with school absenteeism, conviction rates, or distance to the North Pole.Ĭonclusion The results of this study dispel the traditional belief that Santa Claus rewards children based on how nice or naughty they have been in the previous year. The odds of him not visiting, however, were significantly higher for paediatric wards in areas of higher socioeconomic deprivation in England (odds ratio 1.31 (95% confidence interval 1.04 to 1.71) in England, 1.23 (1.00 to 1.54) in the UK). Results Santa Claus visited most of the paediatric wards in all four countries: 89% in England, 100% in Northern Ireland, 93% in Scotland, and 92% in Wales. This was correlated with rates of absenteeism from primary school, conviction rates in young people (aged 10-17 years), distance from hospital to North Pole (closest city or town to the hospital in kilometres, as the reindeer flies), and contextual socioeconomic deprivation (index of multiple deprivation).

Participants 186 members of staff who worked on the paediatric wards (n=186) during Christmas 2015. Setting Paediatric wards in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
