Similarly, in the present study, serum potassium levels exhibited an increasing trend during the first few months following SZC discontinuation.

AF is also a significant cause of cardiovascular mortality with an increasing trend.

Apparently, there is a slight trend that participants with poor speech recognition in noise profited more from FF than participants with good speech recognition in noise.

The mRS scores recorded at presentation and at the last follow-up revealed a favorable trend in disease progression.

Overall, a decreasing trend in mortality is observed [ 21 ], probably due to improvements in treatment strategies and approach algorithms led by multidisciplinary teams.

The meta-analysis of RCTs showed a trend towards lesser reduction in mid-buccal ridge height in the ARP group versus the control group while not reaching statistical significance in the random effect model (MD: 3.02; 95% CI: −0.40 to 6.44; p = 0.08; Figure 5 a).

As a collateral finding, the TG/HDL ratio had a borderline significance.

Despite these differences in right rotation and left tilt, it is important to note that, in many other measures, the differences between the groups did not reach statistical significance, although the Mézières group showed a trend towards obtaining slightly higher average values.

Pain Reduction (VAS) shows a negative trend, indicating that the use of adjuvant therapies is not consistently associated with greater pain reduction, and in some instances, may not confer additional benefits.

The reason for this may be significant tortuosity of the vasculature or fragility of the clot, especially after administration of thrombolysis or dissection of the occluded artery.

In large aortic roots, the phenomenon of recovery is limited as most of the kinetic energy is dissipated, but in smaller anatomies, this pressure recovery phenomenon might be quite significant, thus reducing the net afterload on the left ventricle.

A notable trend was the continued increase in laparoscopic repairs, seen in both healthcare sectors.

A positive trend was also observed between SII and age, although without reaching statistical significance (r = 0.18, p = 0.07).

Their results also showed a trend towards excyclotorsion, with approximately 79% of eyes having excyclotorsion.

The p -value obtained from Friedman’s test ( p = 0.049) indicated a marginally significant difference in the ulcer area of the two treatment groups at the different timepoints.

Along with the insignificant but positive association between DHEA-S and susceptibility (OR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.67–1.31, p = 0.703), the results showed a possible trend between DHEA-S and COVID-19; DHEA-S had an increased OR and significance level for the three COVID-19 phenotypes (susceptibility, hospitalization, and very severe respiratory syndrome).

In the BT group, IL-4 levels showed an increasing trend, while IL-5 remained unchanged.

Since PNV was proposed as a new disease entity [ 1 , 2 ], there has been an increasing trend to classify nAMD into pachychoroid-driven or drusen-driven subtypes, considering these pathological conditions, while they are clinically classified into type 1–3 MNVs, and PCV as subtypes of type 1 MNV [ 8 ].

A clear trend has emerged not only in clinical practice but also in scientific publications, where reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has received increasing attention.

However, we observed a possible trend towards greater bleb survival in the short and medium term with its use.

In many groups, only one of two factors—total protein or albumin—showed a correlation with the antibody levels; in fact, the second factor’s correlation with antibodies was also nearly statistically significant.

Patients with hemiplegia showed a decreasing trend in the area of COG sway with increasing walking ability, although this trend was not statistically significant [ 14 ].

Subgroup analysis of squamous cell carcinomas in the same study on the other hand showed a trend of inverse association between itch and ulceration.

With the disproportionally increased prevalence of metabolic disorders by racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups, it is important to investigate whether there exists an increasing trend in hyperinsulinemia and IR since they represent essential underlying risk factors for diabetes and the metabolic syndrome.

According to our study, the OS of patients with involvement of the AP lymph node zone shows a negative trend with a progressive reduction over time, but it is less pronounced compared to the rapid decline observed for the lower zone.
