Predictors of place of death in South West Scotland 2000-2010: Retrospective cohort study.

CONCLUSION: The proportion of people dying at home fell during our survey. Place of death was strongly associated with age, calendar year and cause of death. A mismatch remains between stated preference for place of death and where death occurs. PMID: 26857358 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
