Figures & data

Table 1 Population characteristics by the condition of interest, N (%)

Table 2 Location of death, receipt of health care services and cost in the last 90 days of life by the condition of interest

Table 3 Predictors of the receipt of palliative home care and/or physician home visit in the last 90 days for individuals with COPD and/or lung cancer experience near the end of life identified using multivariable logistic regression models. Estimates were presented as odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (all p-values <0.0001 [bold])

Figure 1 Proportion of decedents who died in hospital, by receipt of palliative care in the last 90 days of life: (A) by receipt of palliative home care, and (B) by receipt of physician home visits.

Figure 2 Adjusted risks of adverse outcomes by receipt of palliative home care (vs usual home care or no home care) and physician home visit (vs no physician home visits) in the last 90 days of life: (A) death in acute care (hospital or emergency department), (B) more days spent in a hospital (all-causes), and (C) higher health care cost.
