Excerpts

A cervical biopsy was performed if women had abnormal cytology results (e.g., atypical squamous cells of indeterminate significance or more severe lesions), positive HPV results, or abnormal results from colposcopy.

Our study showed a trend toward improved survival for ovarian cancer in Taiwan between 2002 and 2015.

When categorized into three groups according to the tertile of baseline serum NGAL (NGAL tertiles, 1st: 25.4 to 83.7 ng/mL, 2nd: 83.8 to 143.8 ng/mL, 3rd: 143.9 to 567.9 ng/mL), there was a significant trend toward higher serum NGAL levels with older age, hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, low ejection fraction, high C-reactive protein, higher contrast volume, multivessel coronary disease, larger number of stents, and longer stent length.

We observed a negative trend between DOAC’s treatment and endoscopic intervention.

Of the four variants analyzed, the minor allele of the rs3731198 variant showed a trend toward a higher prevalence in the population of patients with NET, which was, however, not statistically significant, p = 0.0587.

Longitudinal Analysis Longitudinal analysis of our cohort during the follow-up time showed a trend of thickening of the GCC in the LHON group in a central circle ( Figure 4 ).

The relationship between the changes in CBF velocity (MCA) and the changes in cardiac output at rest and during dynamic exercise was linear and highly significant [ 24 ], indicating that carotid–cardiac baroreflex function or cardiac function-mediated cardiac output, as well as blood pressure, is important to the regulation of CBF velocity [ 25 ].

A forest plot showed a trend of a non-linear dose-response association between Hct levels and ischemic vascular events in male patients.

A demographic study on the Indian population revealed an increasing trend regarding the prevalence of systemic diseases [ 1 ].

As the same time, the combination of platinum and PARP inhibitor veliparib also significantly improved PFS and showed a trend towards improved OS for patients with mTNBC [ 19 ].

The proportion of counseling for psychotic symptoms ( p = 0.014) and self-injuring behaviors ( p = 0.035) also showed an increasing trend over time, with self-harming behaviors becoming more severe and diversified in modalities.

However, PTSS did not, although there was a trend towards significance.

Although the exact meaning and mechanism of the influence of anti-inflammatory cytokines on the development of manic symptoms has not been studied, this similarity between SARS-CoV-2 and BD may be significant.

The drug was well tolerated and showed a trend for clinical improvement associated with lower increases in CD19 + B cells and greater decreases in CXCL13 and MIP-1β from baseline to week four [ 87 ].

Literature Review We reviewed a total of 378 research papers in the PubMed database from 2010 to mid-2022 and observed an increasing trend in the number of publications, with an annual growth rate of 12.25%.

Although not statistically significant, FMR etiology (HR-1.67, 95% CI 0.98–3.74, p = 0.07) displayed a numerical trend towards higher 1-year mortality.

Results of a meta-analysis that included 18 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with more than 4000 OSA patients on CPAP therapy did not show a significant decrease of cardiovascular event risk compared with the control group but only a nonsignificant trend of lower rate of death and stroke [ 37 ].

A study of women with endometriosis treated by laparoscopic reported higher overall mental scores than their controls, near statistical significance [ 49 ].

0.6694; p = 0.2256) showed a trend toward being higher for the chronic compared with the acute subgroup, and while the diagnostic accuracy was significantly higher in the former subgroup (18.2397 vs. 4.2660; p = 0.0373).

Due to the popularity of CT lung carcinoma screening and an increasing trend of pulmonary segmentectomy, thoracic surgeons now face more cases of small tumors with an early disease status.

There was a clear trend—from the aorto-iliac towards only infrapopliteal segments—in increasing prevalence of diabetes (28.3% vs. 60.0%), heart failure (5.4% vs. 15.8%), renal failure (16.6% vs. 49.5%), polyneuropathy (4.6% vs. 17.9%) and CLTI stage of LEAD (8.6% vs. 74.0%).

We only found a slight trend noticeable after uptitration, which may depend on the high number of GDMT at the timepoint of discharge from hospital.

Third, the difference in the primary outcome of all-cause death reached only borderline significance after adjustment with propensity score matching, and there is a possibility that the results were only due to chance.

Multivariate analysis showed approximating significance with p = 0.05. 3.4.

There were also significant genotypic effects on RBANS total scores after controlling for covariates (F = 3.12, p = 0.045, eta-squared = 0.006), while genotypic effects on language (F = 2.41, p = 0.090, eta-squared = 0.005) and attention (F = 2.57, p = 0.077, eta-squared = 0.005) index scores approached significance.
