Table 2 Functioning at baseline (0 month) and at the six-month follow-up (6 months) together with predicted change in functioning (LMM). In LMM with a random subject effect, treatment (FIMA vs. usual care), time (0 vs. 6 months), and sex served as factors, and age and CCI (excluding dementia) at baseline served as covariates. Values at 0 month and 6 months indicate crude mean ± SD, predicted values indicate mean, 95% CI. P-values refer to the treatment-time-sex interaction
