1. Results - Proportion of people dying at home
Figure 2 – Place of death for Marie Curie Nursing Service patients & matched controls
77% of Marie Curie Nursing Service patients died at home but only 35% of controls
Impact of Marie Curie Nursing Service care on home deaths is greater for those with no history of cancer than for those with cancer

2. What was the impact of these services
What was the impact of these services? University of Bristol evaluation looked at 6 month period:
DCP (yellow) users more at home / less in hospital than non DCP (orange)
This reflected in impact on all deaths. Evaluation did analysis to control for patient groups – i.e. age & diagnosis – to check that DCP wasn’t attracting a type of patients inherently prone to home death.
