Event point is IDSA Guideline Version 3.5.1 online publication December 2, 2020. Slope is trend in medication use. Level change immediately after guideline represents change in series at event point (end of pre-guideline versus start of post-guideline period); change in slope is difference in slopes between pre- and post-guideline periods.
