Excerpts

The mean difference in pre- and post-intervention scores was borderline significant, changing from 4.00±0.71 pre-intervention to 3.56±0.53 post-intervention (p=0.052) (Table 3 ).

Gender showed a trend toward significance, with males having slightly higher odds of experiencing side effects than females (OR = 1.191, p = 0.052) (Table 4 ).

The association between self-reported behaviour toward controlled psychiatric comorbidity (Q16) and the perception of worse surgical outcomes in untreated patients (Q17) showed a trend in the expected direction without reaching conventional significance (χ2(6) = 12.49; p = 0.052; Cramér’s V = 0.32).

70.2 ± 17.9 min), although this difference was marginally non-significant (t = 1.95, p = 0.052).

The model was found to be borderline significant in the univariate regression analysis (p=0.052), while the multivariate regression analysis found it to be insignificant (p=0.100).

Marital status was found to have a borderline significant association (p=0.052) with 54% of the single respondents having moderate to severe depression as compared to 39% of the married respondents.

However, this finding was borderline significant (p = 0.053).

Evaluation of normality with the Shapiro-Wilk test showed that for the continuous variable of time for removal per staple, the null hypothesis was rejected for Group A and Group B (p < 0.05 for both groups), with a trend towards significance for Group C (p = 0.053), yet no rejection of the null hypothesis for Group D (p = 0.445).

Results The PIT group showed a trend toward lower FRS scores on postoperative days two to four (p = 0.053) and significantly reduced analgesic consumption (p < 0.001).

Although CRP levels on postoperative day 3 showed a trend toward significance (p = 0.053), the confidence interval narrowly included 1.00, indicating borderline predictive value.

A negative trend was observed between alpha7 nAChR and BMI (ρ = -0.35, 95% CI: -0.61 to 0.01, p = 0.053), though this did not reach statistical significance.

According to the binary logistic regression, the presence of only an anterior crossbite was significantly associated with a higher predictability for the occurrence of disc displacement and other joint disorders (OR 2.4; P-value=0.008, OR 2.34; P-value=0.01, respectively), but the association between the presence of only an anterior crossbite and a higher predictability for the occurrence of the muscle disorder was borderline significant (OR 2.09; P-value=0.053).

There was only a marginally significant association between the rate of recovery for numbness after surgery and patient age (p=0.053).

None of the findings reached statistical significance, though the presence of lymphangioleiomyomas approached significance (p-value = 0.053), yet still not statistically significant.

At six months after discharge, the mortality rate had a marginally significant (p=0.053) relation to the Barthel index score at discharge.

Age emerged as a significant factor, with individuals aged 26-35 exhibiting a noteworthy increase in the odds of experiencing moderate to severe symptoms of ETD (Exp(B) = 3.899, p = 0.001), while those aged 36-45 showed a marginally significant increase (Exp(B) = 2.626, p = 0.053), in comparison to the reference group (18-25 years).

Additionally, higher monthly income exhibited a marginally significant positive association (B = 0.196, p = 0.053, Exp(B) = 1.217, 95%CI [0.998, 1.484]), suggesting that individuals with higher incomes were slightly more likely to consider facial cosmetic surgery.

Patient factors associated with hospital length of stay On univariable (Mann-Whitney) testing, a significantly longer hospital stay was associated with coronary artery disease (p < 0.001), renal disease (p = 0.017), and prior stroke (p = 0.036); the association with diabetes mellitus was of borderline significance (p = 0.053).

Adequate canal clearance was observed in 94 patients (74.60%) at three weeks, 103 patients (81.75%) at six weeks, and 109 patients (86.51%) at three months, showing borderline significance (p = 0.053).

Notably, BNP (β = 0.796, p < 0.001), CPB (β = 0.512, p = 0.012), BMI (β = -0.421, p = 0.023), and MIS (β = -0.488, p = 0.042) remained statistically significant, while ICU days demonstrated marginal significance (p = 0.053).

The bladder’s D1cm 3 was trending toward significance with a decrease of 0.39 and 95% CI of -0.78 to 0.00 (p=0.053).

However, there was a marginally significant association between age and diabetes status (chi-square value = 4.08, p-value = 0.053), with a higher proportion of participants aged 51-70 years in the diabetes group compared to the non-diabetes group.

Job title approached significance (AOR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.00-1.76; p = 0.053).

However, there was a significant relationship between age and horizontal location on the right side (p = 0.010) and a borderline significant association on the left side (p = 0.053), suggesting a tendency for more anterior positioning in older individuals.

However, caregivers of PD patients reported lower levels of burden, with 25 (59.5%) experiencing no to mild burden compared to 14 (36.8%) of HD caregivers, showing a trend toward significance (p=0.053).
