Excerpts

Moreover, an increasing trend of depression has been observed among people in their 20s and middle adults in Korea [ 4 ].

In addition, the risk of alcohol drinking was lower in patients with a longer period of abstinence before inclusion in the univariate analysis, as craving and other negative effects tended to decline over time after patients initiated abstinence [ 40 ], but this relationship became marginally non-significant in the multivariate model.

The results for the unemployment rate and poverty rate showed a negative trend.

A professional pharmacist consultation may bring many positive effects to the patient’s pharmacotherapy; therefore, their role is extremely significant.

Of these, relative abundance of the genus Oscillibacter demonstrated highly significant and strongly positive associations with both hippocampal and amygdala volumes.

Slightly significant correlations were obtained for pollen concentrations collected by both samplers, the automatic PoMo and the conventional Hirst-type; in both sites, the relationships were significant but weak, unlike the very strong ones that Oteros et al.

The interaction between WQS and sex was borderline significant ( Table 2 ; with 95% confidence interval based on the 100 holdout datasets: (−1.28, 5.13), with only 9% negative estimates).

The driving forces subsystem, as potential causes of risks and changes, often showed an increasing trend during the research period, and the driving effects on enhancing the Yangtze River Delta’s governance efficiency of water environment improved year by year.

A random-effects meta-analysis was performed when the studies’ heterogeneity was highly significant.

The differences were statistically highly significant (the level of significance of the chi-square test of the homogeneity of multinomic distributions was less than 2.10 −16 ).

The more recent the year at index mammogram, the higher the adjusted rate ratio of breast cancer for women with benign breast disease compared with women without benign breast disease, with the highest risk observed among those with index mammogram in 2011 to 2015 (RR = 3.11, 95% CI: 2.41 to 4.03) with a significant trend across calendar periods ( p -trend < 0.05) ( Figure 3 ).

A significant trend was observed in two UK studies, reporting an annual increase of 5% between 1998 and 2010 [ 6 ] and of 78% in 2012 compared with the year 2000 [ 11 ]; in Spain [ 12 ], the incidence significantly increased from 3.82 per 100,000 in 2004 to 6.98 in 2013; in Sweden, the incidence of IPF ranged from 10.4 to 15.4 cases per 100,000 population per year between 2001 and 2015 [ 22 ].

Finally, relevant data concerning other sleep disorders (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea, circadian rhythm disorders, and nightmares); health-relevant behaviors, such as substance misuse and the use of electronic devices; and specific psychological variables, such as resilience and coping, have not been gathered in our study, despite their role in the relationship between sleep and well-being, which is likely to be significant [ 24 , 72 , 73 , 74 ].

This is a decline in the incidence of over 7% since 2015, which is a positive trend.

The ESVs of the Dongting Lake show an increasing trend, with those of forestlands being the highest, accounting for approximately 44.65% of the total value.

Considering the competitive level of the participants and that a small time difference can decide the winner, the advantage in the total starting time of 0.1 s and 0.07 s for males and females, respectively, measured in the current study might be significant for coaches and swimmers.

However, the differences (although borderline significance) in attitude scores would, nevertheless, infer that WPV-PMTP is effective.

Second, we can compare simpler to more complex models, revealing when—and to some extent how—some variables might be significant in a simpler model but not significant in more comprehensive models. 3.

Due to the small number of subjects it was considered practically significant if this effect size indicates medium and larger effects. 3.

Since 1970, the prevalence of allergic disease has been in an increasing trend worldwide.

Category 1 had ~100% completeness while other categories showed an increasing trend, especially in Category 4 and 5.

We observed a decreasing trend in completeness as outbreak counts increased for outbreaks with unknown etiology.

However, Canada (CA) is a notable exception, as it can be observed that the estimated trend captures the decreasing trend starting from 2000, but it misses a decreasing trend also in the decade 1990–2000.

The outcomes showed a positive and highly significant correlation between the IL-1β salivary levels and clinical periodontal parameters (PI, BOP, PPD, CAL).

As shown in Figure 6 , as the amount of PAC added increased from 0 to 0.15 g Al/g TS, the T-EPS content increased while the L-EPS content showed a decreasing trend.
