End-of-life care and place of death in adults with serious mental illness: A systematic review and narrative synthesis.

CONCLUSIONS: The evidence was sparse and heterogeneous, demonstrating variability in patterns and reporting of health care use and with little consensus on where people with serious mental illness are likely to die. Given that people with serious mental illness have increased mortality risk, this gap in the knowledge around end-of-life care outcomes is concerning; this area of research needs further development.
