Figure 1 Temporal trends in ESRD misclassification in the USRDS: (A) 6-month absolute counts (no. of cases, bar graph) and cumulative incidence (%, line graph), (B) actual vs predicted (interrupted time series regression model) misclassification incidence. Dashed vertical line marks the time of the policy change; curved arrow depicts the acute change in slope at the time of the policy change.
