  1. Linear regressions controlled for age, gender, race, and partial Charlson Comorbidity Score
  2. The categories for the days before death variable were 0–29 days, 30–59 days, 60–89 days, 90–179 days, 180–269 days, 270–359 days, and 360 + days
  3. *p < 0.05
  4. **For these domain scores, higher scores indicate better quality of life. Higher score indicates higher presence of domain. Higher PROPr score indicates better overall quality of life
