- All mean differences between groups post-intervention are cluster and baseline adjusted
- Abbreviations: CAD-EOLD Comfort Assessment in Dying – End of Life in Dementia, QOD-LTC Quality of Dying in Long Term Care
- a Comfort in the last week of life was measured using CAD-EOLD scale (total scores range 14–42). Higher scores indicate better quality of dying
- b Quality of care and dying in the last month of life was measured using QOD-LTC scale (total scores range 11–55). Higher scores indicate better quality of end-of-life care
- c Total scores are averages per subscale multiplied by total number of items. Cases with missing data on more than 50% of items per subscale were excluded from the calculation of the total scale scores
- d Post intervention measurements collected for residents at T1 (=month 13) and T2 (=month 17)
