It is recognized that ethnic group is important in describing differences in infection and disease, but is often not routinely available to surveillance systems. Computerized programmes, such as NamPehchan, can assign ethnicity according to name; however, sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) can vary. The aim of this study was to assess whether the sensitivity and PPV of NamPehchan had changed, after an observation that surnames previously associated with South Asians were increasingly reported as Black.
