Increased rate of home-death among patients in a Danish general practice.

CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of home-death in the studied general practice was higher than home-death recorded in regional data. Having a GP involved in the palliative phase was associated with home-death independently of the number of GP contacts in the trajectory. FUNDING: The study received funding from the PLU-Fund (Praktiserende Lægers Uddannelsesfond). TRIAL REGISTRATION: not relevant. PMID: 33046207 [PubMed - in process]
