We also see a positive trend in 2022.

In a highly significant model (R2 adjusted 0.796, p : 0.0001), progressive patients, both PP at diagnosis and progressive over time (SP and PP) with a higher EDSS at baseline, were at higher risk of accumulating disability over time ( Supplementary Materials Table S4 ).

Patients exposed to DMT at any time and/or with DMT at T1 showed a trend of lower disability, and EDSS was statistically lower in patients with DMT at T1 ( p : 0.049).

NLR plays a highly significant role in different postoperative manifestations in orthopedic and non-orthopedic surgeries that were not demonstrated in this specific study as presented in recent studies by Melinte R. et al. and Pasqui E. et al., respectively [ 39 , 40 ].

In fact, a significant trend towards an increase of RON was observed in ACR TI-RADS when going from the lower- to the higher-risk categories, in line with what was previously described in the current literature, and, in particular, about the initial ACR TI-RADS white paper [ 23 ].

On the other hand, two prospective cohort studies merely found a nonsignificant trend toward greater cognitive decline among HI participants over an observation time from 2 to 5 years [ 32 , 45 ].

An elevated trend based on the snoring frequency in the prevalence of metabolic disorders among residents from southeast China was also noted.

In rural Korean communities, an increasing trend of ORs for the MetS of different snorers was reported (OR = 1.42 for rare snoring; 1.79 for occasional snoring; 2.03 for habitual snoring) [ 16 ].

Multivariable analysis confirms a significant trend over time in the use of decurarization, when controlling for other variables, with odds ratio for pharmacological decurarization increasing by 24% (14–34%) in 2017, 47% (36–59%) in 2018, and 59% (47–72%) in 2019, as compared with 2016 ( p < 0.001).

In the case of diabetes, the effect size was almost significant, and significant results might have been obtained with a larger sample size.

Nevertheless, for the 70–79 years age group, the decrease in incidence between the 2000–2009 and 2010–2018 periods was only 8.4% (24.4–22.5/100,000), thus with an overall trend towards stabilization.

Since the 1990s, the age-standardized incidence rate has been showing a decreasing trend in men and an increasing trend in women, especially in European countries and in some developed countries, such as Japan.

Similarly, a history of digestive bleeding also showed a trend towards underdosing (OR = 2.21, 95%CI = 0.9–5.1).

LARR− Comparison Comparing basal echocardiographic parameters between the two groups, we observed a positive trend in RV function parameters (TAPSE and RV TDI s’) in predicting LARR before S/V therapy, with a statistical significance for RV FAC ( Table 4 ).

However, the incidence of moyamoya disease in various places shows an increasing trend year by year.

Trend regression analysis showed that with the increase in TNF-α level in blood, the risk of poor prognosis in MMD patients gradually increased, with a significant trend (P for trend = 0.013).

The absence of coronary lesions showed a trend towards a lower incidence of the primary outcome that did not reach statistical significance.

For the overall KL, a weak trend of superior inverse correlation in favor of AI aid was shown for (i) TAS, as well as (ii) KOOS and all KOOS sub-scores in two raters, and in one sub-score (QoL) at baseline measurement M1 for all three raters.

However, the patients with argatroban showed a trend towards more thrombotic events as compared to the patients receiving UFH.

Conclusions In conclusion, we found a clear trend showing higher risk of secondary loss of reduction in temporary treatment with a bivalved plaster cast compared with interval external fixation for unimalleolar ankle fracture dislocations.

Moreover, for the same subgroup of older individuals, a significant correlation of rMSSD with thickness of the pars orbitalis in the rH was also found, while only a trend towards significance was observed between the rostral ACC in the rH and rMSSD in the younger subgroup.

The correlation between neural BOLD and HRV was significant for the RH only during the first resting period and showed a trend for the LH during the movement period.

Alopecia-specific collocated behavioral health (CLBH) treatment showed a trend for psychosocial improvement in areas such as appearance shame, activity avoidance, negative emotions, and coping.

However, in our study there was a marginally significant association between increasing BMI and the likelihood of detecting OSA among stroke patients with SDB ( Table 4 ).

Female predominance in UCH was reported previously in some articles [ 1 , 10 ] showing a clear trend.
