<p>100 samples is one second. Blue are the vertical axes. green are the medio-lateral axes and red are the anterior-posterior axes. The numbers at the vertical lines correspond with the following events: 1 = Start SiSt. 2 = Maximum trunk flexion velocity SiSt. 3 = Maximum trunk flexion angle SiSt. 4 = Maximum trunk extension velocity SiSt. 5 = End SiSt. 6 = Start turn 1. 7 = End turn 1. 8 = Start turn 2. 9 = End turn 2. 10 = Start StSi. 11 = Maximum trunk flexion velocity StSi. 12 = Maximum trunk flexion angle StSi. 13 = Maximum trunk extension velocity StSi. 14 = End StSi.</p

Additional file 1: Table S1. of Improving comfort in people with dementia and pneumonia: a cluster randomized trial

Symptoms of pneumonia. Table S2. Treatments. Figure S1a–f. Mean comfort (EOLD-CAD: End Of Life in Dementia-Comfort Assessment in Dying; range 14–42) (a,b), pain (PAINAD: Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia; range 0–10) (c,d), and shortness of breath (RDOS: Respiratory Distress Observation Scale; range 0–16) (e,f) per observation day in control homes (a,c,e) and intervention homes (b,d,f); pre-intervention phase compared to intervention phase. Figure S2. Mean EOLD-CAD score (95 % confidence interval) (a), mean RDOS score (95 % confidence interval) (b) on observation day 2 by year of data collection before and after the start of the intervention phase in both control and intervention homes. The range of the number of observations per period varied for the different outcomes: –2 years: 14–16, –1 year: 136–140, 1 year: 105–109, 2 years: 35–36. EOLD-CAD: End Of Life in Dementia – Comfort Assessment in Dying; (theoretical) range 14–42, RDOS: Respiratory Distress Observation Scale; range 0–16. Table S3. Secondary outcomes: testing of possible differential intervention effects by observed sleepiness and death within 20 days. Table S4. Exploratory analyses: intervention effect on levels of discomfort, (lack of) comfort, pain, and shortness of breath, and on change of the outcomes over time adjusted for the level of observed sleepiness. Table S5. Sensitivity analysis: intervention effect on levels of discomfort, (lack of) comfort, pain, and shortness of breath, and on change of the outcomes over time, without day 0. Table S6. Level of discomfort, (lack of) comfort, pain, and shortness of breath in intervention phase versus pre-intervention phase in control homes and intervention homes. (DOC 402 kb
