Place Of Death: U.S. Trends Since 1980
Abstract
Place of death is one indicator of the state of end-of-life care. We examine trends in national death certificate data on place of death from 1980 to 1998. During these years the percentage of Americans dying as hospital inpatients decreased from approximately 54 percent to 41 percent. About 310,000 fewer people died in the hospital in 1998 than if the proportion of inpatient deaths had not changed since 1980. For certain diseases the change was much greater. In 1980 whites and African Americans died in the hospital in equal proportions, but in 1998 whites died as inpatients less often than African Americans. These racial differences and their implications deserve further study.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
