The 2016 guidelines update has impacted DF reporting patterns significantly. The likelihood of reporting DD decreased significantly, especially for grades 1 and 2. Inter-provider heterogeneity in DF reporting improved for grades 2 and 3 but worsened for grade 1. There was more than threefold increase in failure to report DF, suggesting a decrease in provider confidence.
