We also observed an increasing trend, although not statistically significant, between H. pylori naïve group and the eradicated or de novo group.

In the last two decades an increasing trend was observed in the age-standardized incidence rates globally, Romania showing one of the highest percentage changes, with almost 200% increase.

Although our results showed a trend toward a higher rate of poor reduction quality and PTOA in the non-fixation group than in the fixation group, no significant intergroup differences were observed in the radiological and functional outcomes during a follow-up of >3 years.

Although our study also showed a trend towards a lower average age in the BL group, this difference was not statistically significant, which may explain the divergence in the observed lengths of stay.

This result with marginal significance should be interpreted with caution.

A notable trend was the consistent decline in ICH rates among transferred patients from 2016 to 2021 across all intervention groups.

Regarding stroke complications, we noted an increasing trend in hemorrhagic complications (ICH and SAH) among all AIS admissions, potentially linked to the increased use of MT and combined MT with IVT therapies, which carry a risk of intracranial bleeding [ 43 , 44 ].

SAH rates among transferred patients also showed a decreasing trend during the same period.

It is also worth noting that several studies reported improvements that approached significance or trended in a favorable direction.

In our study, serum phosphate levels were significantly associated with CAC progression, and diabetes and eGFR showed borderline significance.

The correlation was highly significant for CAL and CgA levels in the CP and AgP group both at baseline and after NSPT. 3.9.

However, contemporary studies indicate a decreasing trend in the tendency to extract premolars before orthodontic treatment [ 65 , 66 , 67 ].

In Poland, there has been a positive trend in recent years toward increasing the conservative treatment rate—defined as the ratio of teeth with properly made restorations to the total number of teeth filled and those requiring treatment [ 1 ].

Research has also demonstrated significant differences in insertion and extraction torques among different implant diameters, with an increasing trend observed for larger diameters [ 34 ].

While all dimensions of the SF-36 showed statistically relevant differences between the cohorts in the initial visit, they were only partially significant in the one-year follow-up and no longer significant in the two-year follow-up.

Age at first birth showed a decreasing trend with increasing age, with younger participants having a median age at first birth of 23 years (IQR: 21–27) compared to 22 years (IQR: 20–25) for the 50–60 group and 22 years (IQR: 20–24) for the >60 group ( p < 0.001).

Conclusions: Patients with PTE showed a higher JORN rate but the findings were only marginally significant, and no causal relationship was established.

Although sex had a marginally significant effect, the data suggested that men may have a higher risk of disordered eating compared to women.

Although marginally non-significant, a trend was observed for appropriate ICD therapy and all-cause mortality (12% vs. 3.5%, p -log-rank = 0.076, Figure 3 C).

Additionally, within this group, there was a tendency (also with borderline significance) for a higher percentage of students engaging in regular physical activity ( Table 4 ).

Introduction Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which is clinically recognized as pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is the third most common acute cardiovascular syndrome in the world after myocardial infarction and stroke, and studies have reported an increasing trend in its annual incidence [ 1 , 2 , 3 ].

Limited data precluded meta-regressions or subgroup analysis, although previous researchers have posited that social determinants like female sex, young age, and low socioeconomic status may be significant PTSD risk factors after major cardiac events [ 56 ].

However, the subgroup analysis showed a notable trend for the 4b/4a allele distribution between Groups 1 and 2.

We found a trend in the association of disease severity and patient genotypes at the margin of statistical significance level in a subgroup of younger patients (<50 years of age) without COPD (see Table 5 ).

There was an increasing trend between a higher SLEDAI-2K and the likelihood of sinus arrhythmia, first-degree atrioventricular block, and ST-T changes, although this trend was not statistically significant. 3.2.
