However, the functional result and failure rate showed a trend that was better than that of the non-PRP group.

Pancreas PDFF showed a trend to be higher in patients with HS and NASH; however, it was not statistically significant (13.3 vs. 10.6% and 13.9% vs. 11.4%, respectively).

The duration may be significant enough for some changes to occur in the pathological features including the degree of hepatic steatosis, degree of inflammation and to a lesser extent stage of fibrosis to occur and potentially affect the correlation analysis.

Notably, inpatients showed a trend towards normalization (from hospital admission to follow-up) of all the inflammatory indices (hs-CRP, IL-6, ferritin, and D-dimer) and lymphocyte count (see Figure 2 ), irrespective of the persistence of symptoms.

A highly significant difference was seen between patients and controls in the education level.

They showed a trend towards a reduction in microthrombosis in wild-type mice and a significant reduction in microthrombosis in the knockout mice.

Although Pinney described a slight trend of delays in surgery associated with higher incidences of FES, especially in younger men [ 35 ], their findings had no statistical significance.

In addition, there may also be a possibility that post-LVEF showed a decreasing trend in the long-term in patient with pre-LVEF ≥ 70%.

Some studies reported an increasing trend during the course of pregnancy, with a mean of 0.4 log IU/mL to ≥2 log IU/mL [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].

Recent analysis from the National Inpatient Sample database showed a strong association between receipt of a coronary angiography and lower in-hospital mortality with an increasing trend in the utilization of coronary angiography among both sex categories [ 24 ].

Therefore, apart from the above-mentioned exceptions, differences in mortality showed a trend with increasing score groups in the first 7 days, after 56 days and also with regard to ICU and hospital mortality ( Table 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 ).

We also observed a marginally significant increase in the odds of alpha HPV in HIV-infected MSM who were current smokers.

However, there is a notable trend towards a higher sepsis rate.

A clear trend of the directional benefit of CI is also observed.

Over the years, we have observed an increasing trend for the use of 3D-mapping systems.

A p -value of <0.05 was regarded statistically significant, while p -values of <0.01 were considered as highly significant. 3.

For this reason, to increase our statistical power, we performed the meta-analysis that showed a genome-wide significant SNV and another that was almost significant.

In fact, the study of nominally significant genomic loci in the meta-analysis has shown that pathways related to aggregated amyloid-β, tau protein, and inflammatory pathways could be related to PH occurrence. 2.

Bilateral embolization was not associated with the IPSS improvement but seemed to influence the QoL score, although the association fell slightly short of significance.

This approach was chosen in accordance to Hosmer and Lemeshow [ 94 ] who recommended to also consider variables that just failed to reach statistical significance in the univariate models as candidate for the multiple regression model to avoid loss of information.

The difference, although being highly significant, is small throughout and within the normal range—i.e., 0.53-point difference for leukocytes—and might not be clinically relevant.

As shown in Table 3 , there was a marginally significant relationship between the cumulative number of inflammatory conditions between the CS and AD groups.

A p -value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant and p -value < 0.01 was considered to be statistically highly significant. 3.

Furthermore, recent studies in Korea have reported suboptimal results or a decreasing trend of annual eradication rates of H. pylori with BQT [ 15 , 16 , 17 ].

The body weight, BMI, hs-CRP, and HbA1c were significantly decreased among the treated patients in the first 12 weeks, while these variables showed an increasing trend throughout the therapy duration in the control group ( Figure 2 A,B,D,H).
