Statistic calculation of the patient’s variables including cross-tabulation of total healing data in between treatment periods.

Total healing month 3 ∗ total healing month 6
			Total healing, month 6		Total
			No	Yes
Total healing, month 3	No	n	12	2	14
	Yes	n	1	10	11
Total		n	13	12	25
		% within total healing month 3	52.0%	48.0%	100.0%
Total healing month 3 ∗ total healing month 12
			Total healing, month 12		Total
			No	Yes
Total healing, month 3	No	n	3	(month 6 + 12) 8 + 3 = 11	14
	Yes	n	0	(month 6 + 12) 4 + 7 = 11	11
Total		n	3	22	25
		% within total healing month 3	12%	(76.9 + 11.2%) = 88%	100.0%
Total healing month 6 ∗ total healing month 12
