Excerpts

We failed to show any statistical significance as far as BMI and ASA scores are concerned, although statistics show a clear trend toward a negative effect for a discharge within 24 h.

The presence of the perilesional ring in IR had a different frequency in the two groups, but with borderline significance in the development of uniform RPE.

It is suspected that mechanisms related to dissociative disorders may be significant to the negative outcomes of early traumatic events.

Comparing cardiac comorbidities between FRIs and PJIs, a clear trend of increased risk and rates in patients with periprosthetic joint infections was determined.

There was a positive trend of increasing ORs from younger to middle-aged to elderly participants.

first reported alterations in a new corneal parameter in diabetic patients, since they found, in patients versus healthy controls, a reduction in the number of nervous beadings with a decreasing trend among patients with an increasing grade of neuropathy ( Figure 3 ) [ 29 ].

Concerning the evaluation of tissue oxygen saturation, a clear trend was seen for increased values in higher negative pressure levels.

Adjusting for clinical, circumstantial and interventional characteristics of an OHCA patient, the odds of being transported to acute hospitals were lower in Singapore (aOR 0.59; 95% CI: 0.41–0.85) and Atlanta (aOR 0.36; 95% CI: 0.26–0.50), and the odds of surviving to hospital admission showed a near-significant decline in Singapore (aOR 0.74; 95% CI: 0.54–1.00) during the pandemic period.

However, some studies found only a negative trend-level correlation [ 19 ], a positive correlation [ 20 ], or no correlation [ 18 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] between NS and effort allocation capacity.

Looking at femoral and tibial segments combined, our subsets of the younger population, aged 20–39 and 40–59, showed a trend towards the equivalency of these parameters with the ≥60 population ( Table 4 ).

In line with this, our observation showed a trend toward higher serum levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in CHC patients with FM than those patients without FM.

Our study showed a clear trend towards the highest risk of complications being in patients with idiopathic PAH (13.5%) compared to 1.8% in CHD patients with postoperative PAH, 1.3% in CHD patients with PAH and uncorrectable defects, and 0% in those with PAH and correctable defects.

ONSD Ultrasound Evaluation in RALRP Different studies were carried out on the ONSD ultrasound evaluation with B-scan during RALRP [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], showing an increasing trend of ONSD during this surgical procedure.

Correlation Analysis of the Total Burden of CSVD and Other Factors Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed that there was a highly significant positive correlation between the total CSVD score and age (r = 0.559), hypertension (r = 0.325) as well as H-Y stage (r = 0.192).

Although few epidemiological studies are available on pediatric anaphylaxis, a recent Italian study reports an increasing trend in the last ten years in Italy relating to hospitalization for foodborne anaphylaxis, especially under four years of age [ 14 ].

Alterations in Nodal Centrality in Young Survivors of ALL In this study, DST scores showed a trend toward a correlation with higher nodal centrality and efficiency in the right ROL.

Consequently, LVM (both indexed for actual BSA or pre-pregnancy BSA) showed a trend to increase from T1 to T3 with no intergroup differences (as confirmed by the longitudinal models).

Results: During twin pregnancy, maternal LV dimensions, volumes and LVM had an increasing trend from T1 to T3, similar to singletons, while LVEF remained stable.

Septal E′/A′ had a significant trend in reduction during singleton pregnancies, while lateral E′/A′ did not show the same trend.

ESS (−1.7(−3.6/0.1), p = 0.066) also showed a positive trend.

Given that the overall treatment effect was highly significant, with a remission rate of 61% after 20 sessions and 78% at one-month follow-up, and given that no side effects, especially no induced hypomanic episodes, were induced, these results are highly encouraging and motivate replication studies using a randomized control trial design.

Indeed, analysis of the subjects divided into four groups by the FVC% predicted (two groups) and leg power (two groups) showed a trend of high mortality risk in the weak leg power group than in the strong leg power group among low FVC% predicted males.

In this series, oncological responses evaluated using mRECIST criteria were similar at all time points for the two treatments, with the exception of objective response rate at 9–12 months, where DEE-b-TACE showed a trend of better oncological response and longer time to recurrence over DEE-TACE in patients presenting with larger tumors.

In a subanalysis of a larger multicenter study, patients with IPF under AFD treatment showed a trend for higher improvement in exercise capacity as compared to those not treated, suggesting a synergistic effect of AFD and PR.

Immunological and inflammatory assessments showed a trend toward decreased lymphocyte counts in peripheral blood on days 1–7 in the PICS group than in the non-PICS group ( Figure 4 ).
