It appears that the nomogram, because of its predictability, has been useful, not only in patients who tend to vary their requirements, but as a tool to find the proper weekly schedule for each patient. Moreover, prothrombin times have tended to lose their peaks and valleys; adjustments have become less frequent and of much smaller degree.
