From the monitoring and management points of view, this is an encouraging number and a positive trend because the number of such papers are increasing every year.

The incidence of scrub typhus has been showing a decreasing trend over recent years as indicated by an annual incidence of 21.52 (11,105 cases) in 2016 and 7.73 (4005 cases) per 100,000 population in 2019 [ 9 ].

These results show a significant trend towards the disappearance of severe health problems with increases in some slight health problems (ES = 0.38) and no problems at all (ES = 0.19).

Our results show an increasing trend of SARS-CoV-2-positive surfaces, parallel to the increase in the number of patients with positive results.

The conjecture that a rural household’s off-farming diversification strategies vary with farming decisions is strongly supported by the trivariate regression, where we obtain highly significant coefficients for the farming parameter in the local off-farming and migrating equations.

Regarding VWM, there is a clear trend in results; although no differences are found among groups, the SAD group presented better results than the OCD and GAD groups.

Individual cytokines from the first trimester had the strongest positive associations with PTB; 14 cytokines (Eotaxin, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-17, sIL-2rα, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, TNFα, and VEGF) were either statistically significant or marginally significant after adjusting for multiple testing.

The most important aspect to point out is the strong and completely significant correlation between the score on the PEQ and the “load percentage difference” (+0.665).

TIR metrics were close to significance.
