Excerpts

Our findings show that age >63, male sex, HTN history, cancer history, and chest pain on admission may be significant predictors of COVID-19 outcomes.

When comparing clinical characteristics and mortality, age greater 63 was statistically significant (p-value: 0.0052), gender and chest pain were marginally significant with p-values of 0.0642 and 0.0944, respectively.

Test-retest reliability analysis by 195 married and 173 unmarried women revealed significantly excellent redundancy, reliability, and stability of items (highly significant Cronbach's alpha and ICC by internal consistency testing), and reduced the item pool to 47 items for married and 42 items for unmarried women.

Eyes with DME (Group A) showed a trend toward reduction in CMT by 28±2 μm post HD, whereas in eyes without DME (Group B), CMT decreased by 15±2 μm after HD and this trend was statistically significant between the groups (p=0.003; Mann-Whitney test) (Figure 1 ).

Smaller bottom glove size and shorter surgeon height did not correlate with a higher likelihood of physical symptoms or a larger reported number of difficult to use instruments after we controlled for surgeon gender, though shorter height did trend toward significance for a number of reported instruments within female surgeons.

Modern social culture has seen increasing numbers of people sunbathing for cosmetic purposes, and consequentially an increasing trend in melanoma diagnosis coincides directly with this [ 34 ].

The intervention scores gradually increased till the end of March 2020, after which a decreasing trend was observed.

Clinical manifestations include fever, rapid growth of lymph nodes, and labs may be significant for sudden and severe LDH elevation [ 2 , 5 ].

Follow-up showed a decreasing trend of liver enzymes suggesting complete remission.

In another study by Tawfik et al., where blood pressure was correlated with BMI, WHtR, and WC and SH, it was highly significant in patients with high WHtR but not significant with WC and BMI [ 26 ].

The preservation of exocrine function was borderline significant when compared to the distal pancreatectomy [ 11 ]. 2.

In this data set, each quartile had similar rates of ultrasounds performed, but there was a clear trend toward higher rates of POCUS workflow completion among the providers who saw more patients overall during the study period.

The rate of prevalence showed a decreasing trend in subjects above 50 years.

Studies also revealed an increasing trend of TCM development during the COVID-19 pandemic in non-covid or unexposed patients due to psychological stress or financial constraint [ 5 ].

Borderline elevations of serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels were seen; normally, such elevations do not require further testing or strict follow-up, but with regard to chronic HBV, these are extremely significant.

There is an increasing trend in the incidence of SEP in the past few decades.

Literature review There has been an increasing trend for the utilization of digital learning and the flipped classroom model in medical and postgraduate medical education [ 1 , 2 , 5 , 6 ].

Although the multifactorial component of this program was marginally significant, this study demonstrated the feasibility of at-home initiatives for rural populations to promote aging-in-place successfully [ 27 ].

Similarly, high maternal age (>35 years), high parity (>5), and previous history of GDM may increase the risk of GDM (OR = 4.30 [1.867-9.902]), (OR = 2.44 [1.006-5.942]), and (OR = 20.1 [7.15-56.6]), although it still remains highly significant.

In our study, a six-year screening of blood donors found HBV in 1.08% of samples and HCV in 2.78% of samples, with an increasing trend for both viruses except for a slight dip in 2011 in HCV incidence for unknown reasons.

These data indicate a decreasing trend in HBV prevalence and an increasing prevalence of HCV [ 11 ].

A decreasing trend in the odds ratio was seen with increasing age, indicating younger children are more prone to severe injury as compared to older ones.

Four domains from each scale showed a moderately significant correlation; the coping domain of PCOSQoL-42 showed a strong or high correlation, and the psychological and emotional status domain of PCOSQoL-47 showed a weak correlation, yet highly significant at a two-tailed significance level <0.001 (Table 6 ).

There has also been an increasing trend in the number of prevalent and incident TBI cases within the region over the past 15 years.

Among children aged 1-17 years, the prevalence of untreated caries was highest for the 1-5 years age category with a decreasing trend in consecutive years.
