*The association is measured by proportion ratios(PRs) and 95 % confidence intervals. PR > 1 indicates a higher probability of hospice death, <1 lower chance of hospice death, PR = 1 indicates no association. The PRs were derived from modified Poisson regression model, adjusting for the listed variables in the main analysis but with the omission of the Underlying CoD, number of CYP deaths and number of CYP cancer deaths at SCN region level. -: not estimable
