Excerpts

As shown in Figure 4 , a highly significant correlation was noticed between AKI and AKR rates along the scale of baseline eGFR values.

An integrative TTE approach showed a trend to underestimate AR severity.

Axillary artery cannulation has been used in most cases of patients having arch replacement (Group 2), but a significant trend has been observed also in those of Group 1.

residents, we found an increasing trend in non-HIV STI-related visits from 2005–2016.

Consequently, we found an apparent trend towards an astigmatic shift in the direction of the scleral flap creation, not only in the right eye group (axis 64°) but also in the left eye group (axis 117°).

Nevertheless, the original validation studies found highly significant correlations between simultaneous echo-Doppler and catheterization systolic gradients also in patients with surgical prosthetic aortic stenosis [ 27 ].

Only obesity (BMI > 30) was shown to increase the overall number of revisions significantly and showed a trend to increase the number of especially septic revisions.

[ 10 ] showed a decreasing trend of the CD4/CD8 with age in Spanish and French populations.

Sarcopenia is present between 30% and 70% of cirrhotic patients, with an increasing trend depending on the degree of liver disease [ 14 ].

Our hospital admission analysis showed a trend toward a reduction in acute coronary syndromes incidence, with a substantial increase in STEMI fatality rate and complications during the pandemic, compared with 2019 [ 8 ].

No significant difference, but a trend toward significance, was observed between groups regarding the number of responders at the end point (>50% decrease from the baseline), one month after the stimulation sessions (1/18 in the sham group versus 6/21 in the active group; p = 0.098); there was only one responder in the active group at day 5 (the one also achieving remission criteria). 4.

[ 23 ], was the only one that showed a trend leaning in favor of non-aquatic programs.

Regarding BMI and the newborn weight, the results indicate a positive trend leaning towards aquatic programs, but the differences demonstrated are not significant [ 19 , 20 , 23 , 29 ].

reported an increasing trend in the prevalence of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae in a series of Asian patients with PLA [ 14 ].

When compared with a historical series, the 20-gauge Procore showed a clear trend toward better performance, without the added requirement of ROSE [ 12 , 13 ].

A highly significant correlation was found between perceived immune fitness and the percentage of individuals that reported impaired wound healing.

Ischemia time >70 min almost reached statistical significance, with a p value of 0.058.

A strong trend towards lower need for post-intervention surgical pocket evacuation was observed in the former (0.7% versus 4.3%).

The incidence rate of NGU showed a decreasing trend in 2014 and 2015, although it was also very low in some provinces in 2011.

In a critical patient, there could be a similar pathophysiological behavior within the first days of admission; there may be significant hemodilution due to the alteration of the hydric compartments after an initial intensive fluid therapy, where a plasma Hb has decreased but the total Hb mass has not been altered, with differences greater than 2 g per 100 mL being found between a measurement and the corrected one (carbon monoxide test) [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].

Age at KPE was significantly higher in CMV positive than in CMV negative BA patients in three of the centres (all p < 0.05), with borderline significance in the fourth ( Table 3 ).

A notable trend in the initially higher level of inflammatory parameters was observed, albeit without statistical significance.

It is therefore a highly significant finding in this analysis that baseline levels of anxiety are a positive rather than a negative predictor of the efficacy of Deep TMS treatment of depression and anxiety symptoms in MDD.

Estimated duration of surgery is shown in Figure 3 with a clear trend toward a longer duration in both laparoscopic and robotic approaches.

Two studies of patients with MCA occlusion treated with IV-tPA [ 40 , 47 ] examining the association of PH with increased body temperature found a trend that almost reached statistical significance [ 47 ] in the larger cohort but was not significant in the second study [ 40 ]. 3.6.
