PRN-medication pro re nata, medication given as needed, Cl confidence interval. Multilevel linear regression modelling was used for analysis. ^aThe model was adjusted for the baseline DASA score on the intervention day and each intervention was assessed in separate regression models. ^bThe model was adjusted for all interventions and the baseline DASA score on the intervention day. The statistically significant differences are presented in bold
