ABSTRACT
Hospitals used to be a common site of death and dying. This scoping project sought published and unpublished information on current hospital death rates in developed countries. In total, death place information was gained from 21 countries, with the hospital death rate varying considerably from 23.9% in the Netherlands to 68.3% in Japan. This major difference is discussed, as well as the problem that death place information does not appear to be routinely collected or reported on in many developed countries. Without this information, efforts to ensure high quality end-of-life (EOL) care and good deaths are hampered.
