Preferences for dying at home: population group, study quality, year of publication. Footnote: The three plots show the percentage of participants expressing a preference for dying at home in each study by population group (general public, patients and caregivers). The number of dots indicates the number of studies included and the area of the dots indicates the number of participants in each study (largest sample size was 4,198 participants). Black and pink dots in studies conducted with patients distinguish between studies where >50% of patients had cancer (pink) and studies where ≥50% had non-malignant diseases (black); grey dots represent studies where the proportion of patients who had cancer was unknown.
