[Prevalence and typology of patients susceptible of palliative care deceased at home].

CONCLUSIONS: Almost half of the people who died at home are SCP although only two out of three are identified as such. Cancer is the most frequent SCP disease and the easiest one to identify, largely affecting men. Three out of four people with dementia died without being identified as PC, and they are mainly women.
