Figure 2From: Distinguishing patterns in the dynamics of long-term medication use by Markov analysis: beyond persistenceTransition probabilities from one particular state, 1993, to all other possible states for new users are shown. The transition probability of filling at least one ICS prescription in 1994, given filling at least one prescription in 1993, P93→94, is 51%. One of the possible transitions is "1993" → "after end of follow-up".Back to article page
