In absolute numbers, there was an increasing trend in ARHAs, increasing from 119 in 2016 to 211 in 2022, with this increase being more evident among females.

Conclusions Tongue pressure showed a decreasing trend with the progression of frailty.

At baseline, Group 3 showed a trend toward lower severity.

The corneal neovascularization shows a decreasing trend (which is positive because it indicates that chronic inflammation is decreasing over time), but there is a limitation in statistical significance due to the small sample size of patients.

Considering that the deep NMB group showed a trend of less paresthesia and sensory change, significant results may be obtained if a larger number of participants were investigated, or a longer follow-up was conducted.

Accordingly, Post-Pre-Δ% of maximum torque was significantly different ( p = 0.002, ES: 1.19; Figure 2 C) between scTS and sham priming protocol, with a positive trend (4.67 ± 0.07%) observed after scTS priming protocol while negative values (−4.30 ± 0.06%) were found in the Sham session.

The BUT shows an increasing trend, indicating an improvement in the functionality of the Meibomian glands and the quality of the tear film, although the data is not statistically significant.

Conclusions This retrospective simulation-based feasibility study demonstrates that a quadruple-fenestrated physician-modified endograft based on the Treo bifurcation could be a highly versatile alternative with a possibly significant cost benefit for custom-made devices used for the treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms.

The comparative analysis showed a trend towards an increase of pro-inflammatory biomarkers (MCP-1, hsCRP, GAL-3, MMP-2/9) without reaching statistical significance.

This study highlighted an increasing trend in CKD prevalence and mortality over the past three decades, with significant age, period, and cohort effects [ 26 ].

In line with the growing prevalence of steatotic disease in the general population, an increasing trend through the years has also been described in the post-LT setting, amounting to 11% for each decade [ 12 , 19 ].

In the sensitivity analysis, a higher fundus-to-antrum ratio was also significantly associated with a TBWL of 15% or more and showed a trend towards an association with a weight loss of 5% or more during follow-up ( Table 1 ).

However, both measures of alpha diversity showed a trend of decrease in diversity over time ( Figure 4 A,B). 3.9.

Our data suggests a possible trend towards lower narcotic requirements for patients receiving a BNB, however it failed to reach statistical significance.

In addition, erosions on the ventral surface of the tongue ( p = 0.0580), erosions on the upper lip ( p = 0.0870), and white patches on the left buccal mucosa ( p = 0.0590) showed a trend toward significance ( Table 2 ).

Among the analyzed locations of lesions, statistically significant or very closely significant associations with the histopathological diagnosis of OLP were found for erosions located on the ventral surface of the tongue, on the mandibular gingiva, the upper lip, white patches on the left buccal mucosa, white patches on the right buccal mucosa, white patches bilaterally on the buccal mucosa, white patches on the ventral surface of the tongue, white patches on the maxillary gingiva, white patches on the mandibular gingiva, and white patches on the upper lip.

Furthermore, our results showed a trend indicating an association between PSCM and increased in-hospital mortality rates.

The distribution of bone mineral density status in relation to time to diagnosis revealed a clear trend: among the patients diagnosed within 6 months of symptom onset, 18 (45.0%) had normal bone density, 18 (45.0%) had osteopenia, and only 3 (7.5%) were osteoporotic.

A notable trend suggested a lower rate of all-cause mortality in the DAPT group, which may entail incomplete adjustment for confounders.

All reported outcomes had a positive trend, although approximately 50% of the results found were not statistically significant.

While some studies report no significant association—or only a marginal trend—between low BMI and the presence of endometriosis at diagnosis, others have demonstrated a significant negative correlation [ 14 ].

So, the following p -values were considered to be significant: p > 0.05: Statistically insignificant p < 0.05: Statistically significant p < 0.01: Highly significant. 3.

Furthermore, apart from skeletal scaffolding, the assessment of soft facial tissues, which greatly influence the matter, is significantly limited in 2D cephalometric assessment, leading to an increasing trend of including 3D scans of the face and intraoral tissues (such as 3D dental models, 2D or 3D X-ray images, and photographs) in the standard set of examinations [ 60 , 61 , 62 ].

Interestingly, prehabilitation group showed a significant trend for lower INTERMACS classification at last month’s previous HT.

Opioid consumption over 48 h showed no significant difference, but patients receiving PENG had a slight trend toward reduced use.
