\subsection{Description of the Table}  There were a total of 537 participants with 3324 HoNOS records during this period. period (1/1/12 through 31/12/2014?? as it is a bimonthly data).  The first HoNOS record for each participant is chosen for each time period. The data was further filtered to make sure the participants chosen have at least one entry in each of the stages on intervention i.e. at least one measure taken in pre intervention, intervention and post intervention period. Accordingly the final data for analysis consists of 341 participants with 2615 HoNOS records. The rest of the participants did not have a HoNOS measure taken in each of the stages of intervention. This was beyond the control of the study as the staff who administer the HoNOS were not informed about the study to avoid bias. It is also interesting to note that though the percentage of participants has dropped to 63.5 percent the number of HoNOS measures has dropped only to 79 percent. (This is not entirely clear to me what was meant. Did you mean that the total number of HONOS measures dropped by 21\% although the number of participants dropped by 36\%; this would then indicate that many participants had more than one assessment during this time period. Beyond this, I am not sure I can understand the implications. Can you please elaborate?
