Baseline dyad characteristics

Demographic and baseline variables for both PwD and CG will be summarised and presented by each study arm. Dyads will be described with respect to age, sex, site, marital status, highest level of education, current or last job occupation, main source of income and their current use of music and reading in daily life. Other baseline variables include dementia diagnosis, severity of dementia, time of onset dementia, length of time having dementia (PwD only) and CG’s relationship and length of relationship with PwD will also be reported. Categorical data will be summarised using frequencies and percentages. Continuous variables will be summarised using means and standard deviations, or medians and quartiles (25th and 75th percentiles) for asymmetrically distributed continuous variables.
