Turnaround times for IHC testing. The size of the bar indicates time in days from requesting results for IHC testing to obtaining them. For each patient, the initial time is the first day of follow-up treatment at the hospital. The color of the bar indicates the quartile within which the data falls in the distribution. The diamond mark indicates that the treatment was adjusted, according to protocols, after obtaining IHC results. The blue dashed line indicates the 1st quartile for the time it took before an IHC request was submitted. Violin plots with whiskers (equivalent to a boxplot with a probability density estimation) provide an overall view of the turnaround time needed for IHC testing in three categories: Time to IHC request, which represents the time from first day at hospital to request; Time to IHC result, which represent the time from first day at hospital to obtaining IHC results; IHC turnaround time, which represents the time from request of IHC to obtaining results
