Description
Karin Dalhammar, Maria Schelin, and Marie-Louise Möllerberg compare end-of-life care settings in Sweden in this 2026 study. About half of Swedes who die receive municipal care first, and people at home face more emergency hospital trips than those in care facilities.
The study covered 50,219 people in the national palliative care register during 2023 and 2024, all in their last week of life. Facility residents were more likely to get symptom checks than people in ordinary housing. Yet they were less likely to receive end-of-life information, support for relatives after death, or outside pain advice. The authors say each setting has distinct weak spots needing targeted fixes.
