Smoking presented a nearly statistically significant independent prognostic factor for survival with a p -value of 0.052.

The study showed a trend towards a higher rate of cardiac deaths in the CTO PCI arm in 4-month follow-up [ 38 ] and in 3-year follow-up, to a significantly higher incidence of cardiac death (6.0% vs. 1.0%, p = 0.02) with the trend in all-cause mortality (12.9% vs. 6.2%, HR 2.07, 95% CI 0.84 to 5.14; p = 0.11) [ 41 ].

When patients were categorized into four groups according to the quartiles of average heart rate, there was a significant trend toward a higher average heart rate with diabetes, chronic lung disease, high heart rate at admission and discharge, decreased LV systolic function, and low prescription rate of beta-blockers and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone blockers at discharge.

In the current subsample of 80 children with one-year follow-up data, MCP produced a significant improvement in children’s social skills and a statistical trend for a reduction in reactive aggression compared with CP.

terminating it after LAAO, as well as a positive trend towards being survival-free regarding all-cause death, systemic stroke, CE, and major bleeding provided by this strategy [ 17 ].

[ 30 ] described a marginally significant difference in the MMSE scores between healthy controls and mild HCV asymptomatic patients.

While Klotho levels of the recipient and donor before transplantation may be significant, Klotho levels measured after transplantation are not associated with decline of renal function in our cohort.

A statistically significant reduction in pain was observed at any time point, and quality of life measured at six months showed a nonsignificant trend toward increase.

The results are partially significant but heterogeneous between the different studies. 3.4.

Quantification of MAs, Hmas, and HEs revealed an increasing trend as DR severity progresses.

Concerning NT-3, the comparison between the three studied groups showed a trend towards increased levels as fetal growth velocity decreased, but it failed to reach statistical significance.

However, NT-3 concentrations differed between the studied groups and a clear trend was observed towards increased NT-3 levels as fetal growth velocity decreased, although without a statistical level of significance being reached.

However, when portal vein thrombosis was compared between the two groups, highly significant statistical differences were observed.

Bootstrap values of >70% indicate highly significant clustering, whereas values < 50% indicate that the clustering is statistically insignificant.

However, regarding this particular comparison, in the meta-analysis by Wang et al., the difference was only marginally statistically significant [ 70 ].

Additionally, there was a nonsignificant trend of a higher density of monocytes/macrophages, a higher collagen volume fraction, and a higher viral load ( p -value 0.154, 0.186, and 0.402 respectively).

There is currently a strong trend toward performing reversed arthroplasty as the treatment of choice in older patients with complicated fracture entities [ 2 , 3 , 4 ].

Meanwhile, an increasing trend in the volume of spine surgery from February to March was identified again in 2021 ( Figure 6 ).

Variables in the multivariate analysis were introduced based on clinical criteria considering those that were statistically significant or nearly significant ( p , 0.5–0.1) in the bivariate analysis.

[ 20 ], children showed a trend for better global platelet response.

Throughout the postoperative observation, a positive trend was maintained for body weight reduction, which was expressed as a negative trend of mean BMI values and positive trends of increases in the values of %TWL, %EWL and %EBL.

Similarly, a decreasing trend was noted among women in rural areas (AAPC 2009–2021 −17.30%, P trend < 0.05) and urban areas (AAPC 2009–2021 −10.89%, P trend < 0.05).

The trend of total ASMR due to HCV was more significant among men compared to women, and the trend direction changed from a positive trend 1 ( P trend > 0.05) to a negative trend 2 ( P trend < 0.05) around the turn of 2014/2015.

In fact, immunocompromised patients with nausea at admission displayed a negative trend for pneumococcal bacteremia, but this was not statistically significant ( p = 0.18) ( Figure 3 ). 4.

Since our results for LASct and the LAEF were close to being statistically significant (with p-values between 0.051 and 0.07, respectively), the relatively small group size could be an explanation.
