Table reflects data for residents who contributed pre- and posttreatment data; number of treatments was from first to last data point. Data were collected verbally from the resident by the CIH provider prior to each treatment and recorded in standardized progress notes. Data recorded at the last CIH treatment visit were considered the final posttreatment data point.
Of the 46 residents who received at least 1 treatment, data were missing for the following reasons:
Pretreatment: visual and cognitive disabilities, n=2 for QOL, n=4 for pain.
Posttreatment: visual and cognitive disabilities, n=3 for QOL, n=4 for pain; 1 treatment provided so no posttreatment data collected, n=3 (2 died, 1 reason unknown).
Abbreviations: CIH, complementary and integrative healthcare; QOL, quality of life.
