National trends in the proportion of inhospital deaths by cause of death among older adults with long-term care: A nationwide observational study in Japan from 2007 to 2017
Japan has promoted end-of-life care at home and in long-term care facilities, and the total proportion of in-hospital deaths has decreased recently. However, the difference in trends of in-hospital deaths by the cause of death remains unclear. We investigated the variation in trends of in-hospital deaths among older adults with longterm care from 2007 to 2017, by cause of death and place of care.
