Registry study of cardiovascular death in Sweden 2013–2019: Home as place of death and specialized palliative care are the preserve of a minority
Despite a slight positive trend, only a minority of people with CVD die in their own home. Regional variations in place of death and the low and varied utilization of specialized palliative services indicate inequity in access to palliative care. Hence, the impact of current national policies is questionable and calls for strengthening through inclusion of early palliative care in specific CVD policies.
