“…Vague phrases such as withdrawn do not inform the reader as it is still unclear what the the reasons for the withdrawal were, for example was it due to progression of the illness or side effects of a drug or another reason? Dumville et al (2006) recommend reporting the causes of attrition clearly to help understand the findings of a study [161] and applying the MORECare classifications gives an indication of not only what has happened in a trial but also the characteristics of the population involved. Our review emphasises the need to identify primary outcome measures which should be measured sooner than later given the large amount of missing data in longer studies.…”

“…In a feasibility study, volunteers could adequately carry out systematic reminiscence work in people with dementia (Van Boegart et al, 2016). Furthermore, older volunteers were able to carry out systematic reminiscence work in palliative institutions with comparable success as trained persons (Allen et al, 2014). The volunteers experienced added value with an increasing sense of meaning and increased self-confidence (Allen et al, 2016).…”
