Table 4. Clinical turn around time.

COHORT PATIENT NUMBER TOTAL TIME IN BUSINESS HOURS (DAYS) TOTAL TIME IN HOURS
Open histology 10 114.50 (4.77) 174.50
Lymphoma 5 117.00 (4.88) 165.00
TCC 4 116.75 (4.86) 158.75
Melanoma 5 119.60 (4.98) 167.60
All Cases* 24 116.46 (4.85) 168.46

*Clinical turnaround time for case 0508 (TCC) was an outlier (completed in 212 business hours).

The expression data was generated in 91 business hours (3.79 days) but there was a delay in the PMed report being sent to investigators. Overall the turn around for sample analysis fits a clinical window and its inclusion in the analysis did not impact the study conclusions.
