Fig. 2 Comparison of preferences for site of death at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 months. Arrows indicate changes of individual patient preferences (numbers indicate number of patients, n=206). Size of arrows is related to the number of patients in each category. Arrows and numbers for the category “don't know” are not shown. Therefore, the sum of the numbers in the arrows will not be equal to the numbers in the columns. *Includes care home and hospice.
