FIGURE 2.

The figure is a line chart showing gastroschisis prevalence ratio in counties with high and medium opioid prescription rates, compared with those in areas with low opioid prescription rates (referent), by year and annual opioid prescription rate category in 20 states during 2006–2015.

Trends in gastroschisis prevalence ratio, by year* and annual opioid prescription rate category† — 20 states, 2006–2015§

* Overall prevalence ratio for medium opioid prescription rate category and high opioid prescription rate category versus low opioid prescription rate category for each year of the study period 2006–2015.

† Opioid prescription rate categories include medium (57.2–82.3 prescriptions per 100 persons) and high (≥82.4 prescriptions per 100 persons). The low opioid prescription rate category (<57.2 prescriptions per 100 persons) was used as the reference group.
