Data presented as mean, standard deviation or their corresponding 95% confidence interval; N, sample size used in the analysis (only included pilot sites which has the follow-up for the corresponding parameter); * indicates if there are pre-post differences within each arm (intervention or control); CareWell effect, indicates the difference between the intervention over the control group, by the interaction coefficient between the care group and the follow-up period. The effect coefficient was estimated considering follow-up of 12 months, and the mixed-effect models were adjusted using age, gender, and age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index.
