Unequal ends: A systematic review comparing place of death in rural, coastal and urban areas for older people with dementia to cancer

Hospital deaths appear more common in urban areas, with more home/care home deaths in rural areas. Coastal patterns are poorly described. Better understanding how these locations are associated with place of death, especially for people with dementia, is needed to guide more equitable, efficient service planning. Further work on associated factors will support a nuanced understanding of drivers of place of death.
