Data are n (percent of regimen). Categories differentiate full DOT (here meaning entire course was taken in hospital) compared with various combinations of partial DOT when a child was discharged mid-course to receive the remainder of the course in the community, either with daily or alternate-day DOT of one of the day's doses and the remainder administered by the caretaker at home.
Courses in this row included in model in Table 6.
