Fig 1. Adjusted relative hazard (rate) of overnight acute care hospital admissions during periods of time receiving community-based palliative care over the last year of life compared to periods of time not receiving community-based palliative care.

A) Hazard rate (HR) averaged over all age groups (thick black line) with 95% confidence interval (CI) indicated by shading. The time at which the upper 95% CI drops below the referent line and the time at which the HR reduction becomes more rapid are indicated by dotted grey lines. B) HR (without 95%CI shading) for each age group as indicated by legend. Referent line shown at HR of 1 represents periods of time not receiving community-based palliative care.
