Disparities in end-of-life care and place of death in people with malignant brain tumors—A Swedish registry study
Despite the severity of their diagnosis, only a minority of patients utilized specialized palliative services at death, and this varied by the place of death. Significant regional disparities were found between hospital and home deaths, indicating unequal end-of-life palliative care in this patient group.
