  1. a The 5-point response scale for caregiver involvement categorised into high (‘very high degree’, ‘high degree’) and low/none (‘some degree’, ‘low degree’, ‘not at all’)
  2. b The number and percentage of high patient-reported improvement in a specific group of caregiver involvement. The inverse percentage, that adds up to 100%, represents the patient records with low/none patient-reported improvement in the specific group of caregiver involvement (not shown in the table)
  3. c Adjusted for patient age, sex and diagnosis
