Resuts and end: There was no adjustment in the arrangement of medical procedure previously, then after the fact (DOT) in 54 patients while careful plans changed in 46 patients. Careful plans were changed in 18 patients with 60 minutes (DOT), in 12 patients with 3-hours (DOT), in 12 patients with 6-hours (DOT), and in 4 patients with 24-hours (DOT).
