Preferred place of death, place of death, and number of transfers and hospitalisations of cancer patients with additional support from a case manager and patients receiving standard GP care.

† Values are numbers (percentages) unless stated otherwise. GP = general practitioner; CM = case manager. Total number of patients is 447. Missing values per variable: Preferred place of death known: no missing values, Died at preferred place of death: 90 missing values (Study on case managers 10; Standard GP care 80), Place of death: 2 missing values (Study on case managers 0; Standard GP care 2), Number of transfers: 78 missing values (Study on case managers 73; Standard GP care 5), Number of hospitalisations: 78 missing values (Study on case managers 73; Standard GP care 5).
†† Dependent variables coded ‘Standard GP care’ = 0; ‘Study on case managers’ = 1. OR = Odds ratio; CI = 95% confidence interval. Confidence intervals not including the value 1 are considered statistically significant and are boldfaced.
