a80 and 67% CIs are narrower than 95% CI because as the precision of the CI increases (i.e. the CI width decreases) the reliability of the CI containing the true mean difference decreases. Differences and CIs not adjusted for baseline scores.
bRepresents the number of completed questionnaires (fully completed or prorated where applicable) out of the number of residents available for follow-up.
cScore 0–20; higher score = greater mobility.
dScore 0–20; higher score = greater self-care ability.
eScore 0–21; higher score = greater physical ability and activity.
fScore 0–10.
gScore 0–11.
hScore 0–15; score ≥5 indicative of depression.
iScore 1–5; higher score = greater quality of life.
jScore 0–112; higher score = better quality of life.
kIndex value −0.281 to 1.000.
lScore 0–28; higher scores = greater impairment.
