Manuscripts had to a) focus on the frequency of more than one place of death, b) include population with dementia, c) use administrative data, and d) be published in peer-reviewed primary sources to be included in this study. The procedure for searching the sources of evidence and data charting was based on the structured approach for conducting scoping reviews by Arksey and O\u2019Malley.

Results indicate a great variability in the place of death of people with dementia across different regions and settings. Overall, in Europe and North America, it was more common for people with dementia to die in long-term care facilities like care homes, nursing homes, and sheltered housing; in East Asia and the Pacific, medical facilities (i.e., hospitals, mental health facilities, and private clinics) were more common. Studies that showed trends also indicate an increase in long-term-care facilities and a decrease in medical facilities and homes as the place of death. Most studies were conducted in high-income countries, raising questions about the diverse factors that may influence the place of death, such as access to services and socioeconomic status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results could inform decisions on allocating resources and training for end-of-life care for people with dementia.
