Excerpts

Although time-series analysis showed a trend between viral PDRs and encephalitis incidence rates using the Granger causality test, the results do not provide definitive evidence of a causal association between viral infection and encephalitis incidence.

The majority of sarcopenic patients presented a substantial absence of variability before and after the TAVR procedure, although the statistical analysis showed an overall trend towards a worsening of life expectancy in these patients.

There is also an interesting trend in assessing the effects of rehabilitation on cognitive function changes.

Differences in the SN-MP, FH-MP, Y axis angle, and FHI were highly significant, confirming that they belong to different vertical growth patterns. 3.1.

In the under-5 age group, the SMA 3a group also showed a trend towards increasing score at and after 12 months, although this was only significant at 6 months in both the RHS and HFMSE (median 6 ( p = 0.03) and 3 ( p = 0.06), respectively).

There is a clear trend linking the RULM and the RHS, with a score of 0 on the RHS equivalent to an average score of 10.33 on the RULM.

Consequently, there was a statistically significant increase of the patella shift in unloaded conditions when patients with PFI were compared to volunteers with healthy knees from 0° to 15° knee flexion and a statistical trend in 30° flexion.

In this umbrella review, the recessive models of rs11614913 showed a highly significant association with OC risk.

Secondly, we compared the observed number of studies (O) of nominally significant results included in a meta-analysis with the expected number (E) of statistically significant results, by using the excess significance test [ 26 ].

Larger FTMH showed a trend towards the residual EZ defect as the mean preoperative hole size was 465.4 ± 180.6 μm and 423.2 ± 119.3 μm in eyes with and without the residual postoperative EZ defect, respectively.

Indeed, “Regularity”, “Timing”, “Efficiency”, and “Duration” showed the strongest associations with mortality, whereas “Satisfaction” was borderline significant and “Alertness” was not significant in a study of 2887 men followed during 11 years [ 49 ].

Contrary to the correlation with OS, we found no correlation between PFS and MGMT IHC, in addition, miRNA expression showed a trend, but never reached a statistically significant correlation with PFS. 4.

Our study demonstrated that approximately one-tenth of the enrolled SSNHL patients had evidence of concurrent EBV infection, as reflected by the positive qPCR test results, and a negative trend between hearing gain and the viral DNA PCR level was found within the affected cohort after steroid therapy.

In the present study, the multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, and visual acuity revealed that among the tested AMD-associated loci, the CC variant of CFH Y402H was associated with AMD advancement over a 3-year period with borderline significance.

Nevertheless, the demonstration of a favorable trend in this regard is in line with reports by other authors [ 54 , 55 ].

Overall, it can be seen that there is an increasing trend of incidence and prevalence [ 9 , 11 , 15 ].

In addition, the baseline to endpoint comparison alone, 6 months after initiation of therapy, showed a trend in cartilage improvement under ADA + MTX.

Furthermore, in our study, we observed higher leptin levels in patients with low vitamin D levels (with a trend toward significance).

Our results from ROC curves demonstrated that vitamin D effects on the eGFR stages have a tendency toward significance.

A decreasing trend was observed when comparing preoperative and postoperative fasting and 2 h postprandial plasma glucose levels, HIC, and 2 h postprandial HIC levels in four of five patients with elevated bile acid levels, but not in preoperative normal bile acid patients ( p < 0.05, Figure 4 A–D).

LVEF ( p = 0.059) and smoking ( p = 0.079) became nearly significant in that model.

Intuitive Surgical reported an increasing trend for lease or usage-based schemes with them accounting for 38% of da Vinci 2021 sales compared to 33% in 2020 [ 16 ]. 15.

Although our primary outcomes do not show significant differences with respect to severe combined outcomes, a clear trend is seen, especially for severe combined maternal outcomes (12.8% vs. 8.9%) in the obese pregnant group (see Table 3 ).

The prevalence of obesity in pregnant women in the 2020 German obstetric inpatient cohort of the Institute for Quality Assurance and Transparency in Health Care was 16.35%, with an increasing trend [ 1 ].

When compared to placebo with TCS, patients receiving tezepelumab showed marginally significant improvements in pruritus numeric rating scale (NRS) from baseline to week 12 ( Table 2 ) [ 80 ]. 3.3.
