Place of death for patients with cancer in the United States, 1999 through 2015: Racial, age, and geographic disparities

Cancer Oct 25, 2018

Chinov F, et al. - Considering the significance of place of death in high-quality cancer care, all cancer deaths from 1999 through 2015 were analyzed to test for disparities in place of death associated with sociodemographic variables using the National Center for Health Statistics. Findings revealed the occurrence of a total of 9,646,498 cancer deaths from 1999 through 2015. They noted a decrease in hospital cancer deaths by approximately one-third with corresponding increases in home and hospice facility deaths. Younger age, black or Asian race, and Hispanic ethnicity were noted to be correlated with hospital death. Being married or widowed was noted to be correlated with home death; increasing educational level was noted to be correlated with hospice death.
