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.
