Table 4.
Comparison of baseline characteristics for patients who completed the treatment and patients who dropped out.
| Completed week 13 (n = 58) | Dropout (n = 48) | Total (n = 106) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (mean, SD) | 84.5 (7.1) | 86.8 (7.3) | 85.5 (7.3) |
| Female (%) | 78 | 75 | 76 |
| MMSE (mean, SD) | 7.1 (5.7) | 8.3 (6.3) | 7.6 (6.0) |
| MOBID-2 (mean, SD) | 2.8 (2.0) | 2.8 (2.3) | 2.8 (2.1) |
| CSDD (mean, SD) | 11.4 (3.8) | 10.9 (3.7) | 11.2 (3.7) |
The table reports baseline characteristics for several central variables in the group of patients who completed the study period and those who dropped out; age, sex, MMSE, Mobilization-Observation-Behavior-Intensity-Dementia-2 Pain Scale score (MOBID-2), Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia score (CSDD). No statistical significant differences were found between the groups.
