We therefore conclude that there is an evident trend towards poorer sleep quality among individuals with higher PSQ-3-FI scores. 4.6.

In the entire cohort and target therapy subgroup, Kaplan–Meier curves showed a marginal trend in predicting disease progression among patients with MTVlfn, TLGlfn, MTVsoft + lfn, TLG soft + lfn, MTVwb and TLGwb lower or higher than the median values ( Figure 3 for the entire cohort and Figure 4 for the target therapy cohort). 4.

In Table 2 , we reported the results of cardiac and inflammatory markers in the four groups: we did not find any significant differences (including in routine blood biochemistry, data not shown) except for IL-6, which shows a significant trend for increasing levels from group A to D ( p for trend <0.05, by Jonckheere–Terpstra test, Table 2 ).

At present, we are witnessing an increasing trend of PNB use over neuraxial blocks especially in orthopedics and the focus of training has shifted accordingly [ 24 , 25 , 26 ].

It may be significant that advanced UBC in men had higher androgen response activity across all luminal subtypes, compared to advanced UBC in women [ 85 ].

This sex-linked association was highly significant, as it was found in 6 out of 783 X chromosome genes but in zero of 18,055 genes from autosome chromosomes or pseudoautosomal X chromosome regions [ 204 ].

Their study of the inner retina showed a trend of retinal thickness reduction in the central 1 mm area in patients with SDD compared to controls [ 32 ].

The mortality was 16.1% for males and 17.2% for females with an increasing trend for age classes (from 4.9% in 19–49 up to 31.6% in 85+).

This suggests a multifactorial origin of cataracts, although the radiation dose has a highly significant effect when other variables are equal.

In addition, the occurrence of only two recurrences in 75 patients at 12 months represents an encouraging trend.

Although we only showed a trend in the increase in Actinobacteria phylum in the CAD group, we confirmed a statistically significant increase in the Actinomycetales and Micrococcaceae order.

The authors analyzed de novo variants and observed a highly significant 3.5-fold enrichment of de novo protein truncating variants (PTVs), which are considered the most pathogenic variants, compared to a non-significant 1.2-fold enrichment of inherited protein truncating variants.

Overall, and in the subgroup of males, this rate was not associated significantly with age, but there was a linear trend towards a decrease with increasing age in females, which was of borderline significance ( p for trend = 0.041; Figure 1 ). 4.2.

There was also a statistical trend towards an age-dependent increase in males, which was not observed in females.

A significant deficiency of the drug was seen only at week 14; nevertheless, a decreasing trend could be detected at week 12 in some patients.

Trackback studies on PTs indicate that the level of reported correct results at all levels of contamination since 2014 bears a slightly increasing trend.

Therefore, early intervention to prevent myopia progression is highly significant, as it can considerably reduce the risk of sequelae of high myopia, which may lead to blindness.

Final model shows six parameter estimates to be significant and one marginally significant, and presents a good fit.

Of these, 69% had a fluctuating progression of pain, 20% of patients were found to have an increasing trend, 6% a decreasing trend, and 5% no change. 4.

A value of p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant, while a p value smaller than 0.01 was considered highly significant. 3.

With age as a covariate, the relationship between total sleep time and TMT-B (secs) was trending towards significance.

While visual acuity improvement was significant on both day 7 and the last follow-up in the VCZ-treated group, the improvement of visual acuity was significant at day 7 and highly significant at the final follow-up in the NAT-treated group.

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–2014 with self-reported olfactory dysfunction [ 15 ] revealed a significant trend to severe olfactory dysfunctions (hyposmia and anosmia) among subjects with diabetes who received treatment (oral agents or insulin) vs. those managed with diet only (OR 1.30, 95% CI 0.59–2.90 and OR 2.87, 95% CI 1.26–6.52, respectively, p trend 0.01).

24.6%, p = 0.002) mortalities in the combined-SAVR group, as also illustrated with Kaplan–Meier curves ( Figure 1 A,B), and showing significant lower cardiac mortality (log-rank = 0.03), but slightly non-significant all-cause (log-rank = 0.05) mortality in the I-SAVR group.

This again barely missed statistical significance. 3.3.
