From: Effects of the cefazolin shortage on the sales, cost, and appropriate use of other antimicrobials
Box plots of actual and predicted DID values of antimicrobials. Annual trends in box plots of monthly DID values are shown. Light gray box plots represent predictions of DID values in 2019 generated by 2013–2018 data under the assumption of non-occurrence of the cefazolin shortage. Solid line squares represent cefazolin, fine dashed lines represent government-recommended cefazolin alternatives, and red dashed lines represent government-not-recommended broad-spectrum cefazolin alternatives. Abbreviation: DID, defined daily doses/1000 inhabitants/day
