Five factors independently associated with death at home rather than in hospital. Factors retained in the final multivariate model (P <0.050). The dots present adjusted odds ratios and horizontal lines indicate 95 % confidence intervals. The model was statistically reliable [Hosmer and Lemeshow χ2(8,263) = 4.721, P = 0.787]; it correctly classified 82 % of the cases (persons who died at home) and 79 % of the controls (persons who died in hospital)
