ObjectiveTo ascertain whether disagreement between patients and general practitioners (GP) on the patient's health status varies according to their respective perceived social distance (PSD).MethodsThe analysis used the Intermede project's quantitative data collected from 585 patients and 27 doctors via mirrored questionnaires. GPs and patients ranked their own perceived social position (PSP) in society, and their patients’ and their GP respectively. PSD was calculated as the PSP's subtraction from the patients’ and GPs’ assessments.ResultsDisagreement between GPs and patients regarding the patient's health status was associated with PSD by the GP whereas it was not associated with PSD by the patient. In the multilevel analysis, disagreement whereby GPs overestimate patient's health status increased within PSD by the GP: OR:2.9 (95%CI = 1.0–8.6, p = 0.055) for low PSD, OR:3.4 (95%CI = 1.1–10.2, p
