| Annotation | The South West Public Health Observatory (SWPHO) has been commissioned to produce key outputs and analyses for the National End-of-Life Care Intelligence Network (NEoLCIN), including the national End of Life Care Profiles, available on the Network's website (www.endoflifecare-intelligence.org.uk). This is the fourth report published by the Network, and looks at deaths of people aged 75+ to examine differences in place and underlying cause of death by age band from old to extreme old age. It finds that there appears to be a trend in all age groups for the proportion of deaths in hospital to have increased in the period 1995 to 2008; this has since levelled off. The report also examines deaths by socio-economic status. While more deaths in people aged 75+ occurred amongst people living in more deprived areas, the proportion of deaths in people aged 75+ in the most deprived areas decreased with increasing age.
