Table 2.
Distribution of place of cancer deaths by sex, age, cancer types and other variables in the total population from 2013 to 2019.
Table 3.
Utilisation of specialised palliative care services at the end-of-life: overall distribution of cancer deaths from 2013 to 2019 by healthcare region. For each place of death the healthcare region with the lowest proportion of deaths is highlighted in yellow and the highest proportion is highlighted in blue.

Distribution of place of death due to cancer in Sweden from 2013 to 2019: total population and within the six healthcare regions.
Fig 2.
Longitudinal trends in place of death based on linear regression.
(a) the proportion of people dying in hospital for those residing in their own home (and dying in either hospitals or at home) (n = 103,836), (b) the proportion of people dying in hospital for those residing in nursing homes (and dying in either hospitals or nursing homes) (n = 7,218); each figure showing for the total cancer population (black lines) and the interaction for the overall trend in the total cancer population with healthcare regions (coloured lines). R2 is the fraction of the total variation at the population level that may be explained by longitudinal trends across regions.
Fig 3 a-f.
Interaction between longitudinal trends in place of death for people residing in own homes aged 18 and older (and dying in either hospitals or at home) and the covariates.
(a) sex, (b) palliative care diagnosis, (c) death in specialised palliative service, (d) marital status, (e) age, (f) cancer type. R2 is the fraction of the total variation at the population level that may be explained by longitudinal trends across subgroup.
Fig 4 a-f.
Interaction between longitudinal trends in place of death for people residing in nursing homes aged 60 and older (and dying in either hospitals or nursing homes) and the covariates.
(a) sex, (b) palliative care diagnosis, (c) age, (d) marital status, (e) cancer type, and (f) death in specialised palliative services.
