Differences in end-of-life hospitalisation patterns between people who died at home before and during the pandemic in Scotland (Preliminary results) (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Savinc, J., & Atherton, I. (2022, June). Differences in end-of-life hospitalisation patterns between people who died at home before and during the pandemic in Scotland (Preliminary results). Paper presented at 19th International Medical Geography Symposiu

Deaths at home in Scotland increased by approximately 36% in 2020 and 2021 compared to the 2015-2019 period. Only about 2% of home deaths were Covid-related. This represented a shift of deaths from hospital to home during the pandemic and entailed a...

An investigation of cancer survival inequalities associated with individual-level socio-economic status, area-level deprivation, and contextual effects, in a cancer patient cohort in England and Wales (2022)
Journal Article
Ingleby, F. C., Woods, L. M., Atherton, I. M., Baker, M., Elliss-Brookes, L., & Belot, A. (2022). An investigation of cancer survival inequalities associated with individual-level socio-economic status, area-level deprivation, and contextual effects, in a

Background People living in more deprived areas of high-income countries have lower cancer survival than those in less deprived areas. However, associations between individual-level socio-economic circumstances and cancer survival are relatively poo...
