The project endeavours to develop a pioneering international classification tool that maps preferred and actual places towards death. To achieve this, we will analyse recent national statistical data on place of death at a global level. We kindly ask you to complete the attached Excel file with aggregate data on all deaths occurring in Estonia in 2012-2021. We need information on the number of people who died at different places (e.g. home, hospital, etc.) in each year by sex and age bands for all causes of death, and then separately for three disease groups. We take the opportunity to also request a copy of the Estonian death certification/registration form in use during that period to collect place of death information. We are not asking for individual data on the deceased. All institutions providing the data will be acknowledged in reports and will receive a summary of the results. Our request may take you some time, but we attach an Excel file with detailed information aiming to make your task easier. Please contact us if anything is unclear. Many thanks in advance for your collaboration with this project, which will provide new insights into how to care for the dying.
