Body mass index (BMI) showed a trend toward higher values in stable KC patients (28.20 ± 7.84 kg/m 2 ) compared to both progressive patients (24.75 ± 3.62 kg/m 2 ) and healthy controls (25.69 ± 4.46 kg/m 2 ), though this difference did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.143).

Three studies showed a decreasing trend in reported pain scores, which were not statistically significant [ 21 , 40 , 41 ].

Duration, Intensity, and Symptom Response There was a statistical trend for between-group differences in the duration of symptoms ( Table 4 ).

While surgical excision is often performed, our review highlights an increasing trend toward conservative management with biopsy-based diagnosis.

The increase in TLM/XRT in the past two decades indicates a positive trend toward performing more TLM in comparison to XRT.

However, the incidence of cardiac arrest in the MHO cohort showed a decreasing trend (0.2% vs. 0.25 vs. 0.1% vs. 0.2% vs. 0.1%; Ptrend = 0.013) in contrast to the MHnO cohort, which showed a slightly increasing trend (0.1% vs. 0.1% vs. 0.1% vs. 0.2% vs. 0.25; Ptrend < 0.001) from 2016 to 2020. 3.4.

In a prospective cohort study, the use of AN69ST as a hemofilter in patients showed a trend of decreasing pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and membrane adsorption emerged as the main cytokine clearance mechanism [ 100 ].

0.1%; Ptrend = 0.013) in contrast to the MHnO cohort, which showed a slightly increasing trend (0.1% vs. 0.1% vs. 0.1% vs. 0.2% vs. 0.25; Ptrend < 0.001) from 2016 to 2020. 3.4.

There was a trend for superiority of Lorazepam over Clonazepam acutely and the difference became marginally significant, in favor of Lorazepam, in the medium term (28 days, Figure S10 in Supplementary Materials ).

It should be noted that, when adding gender and age, the effect of prediabetes decreased and acquired borderline significance, and age acquired the main predictive significance in the models for all the complications described.

Inclusion criteria were total serum bilirubin levels above 10 mg/dL that remained persistently elevated or showed an increasing trend compared to pre-LT or pre-EHR levels despite maximal standard care and regardless of the presence of renal failure.

In Clear Synergy, if we look at the data in the forest plot in Figure 2 , where patients were taking colchicine twice a day, there is a strong trend in favor of colchicine 0.78, 0.61–1.00 [ 34 ].

2.7 ± 0.7), measured at the M1 segment, which appeared in general larger on the aneurysm side than the contralateral one, showing a statistical trend.

Among personality domains, disinhibition was significantly higher in the ADHD group ( p = 0.002), while detachment approached significance.

The results indicate a trend toward significance, but the evidence remains inconclusive.

A forest plot of the stratified analysis showed a trend for a better dichotomized functional outcome in male patients versus female patients after aSAH; however, this was not statistically significant (RR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.98–1.07; p = 0.34).

Lower albumin levels (<4.3 g/dL) were similarly associated with a higher risk of MEB (OR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.10–0.48, p < 0.001), as were lower Ca (OR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.20–0.94, p = 0.034) and lower Mg levels (OR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.08–1.11, p = 0.070), although the latter relationship was only borderline significant.

The p -value was extremely low, indicating a highly significant correlation.

Additionally, our data analysis demonstrated a clear trend towards detecting PLMS in patients with higher SDB severity ( Table 2 ).

Despite some variation in the frequency of these modalities between single years, logistic regression did not show a significant trend over time for the frequency of CT, neurological examination, SSEP, or EEG (see Table 2 ).

Although statistical power was constrained and resulted in only marginally significant differences between peak and 24-h values, similar outcomes were discernible for cTnI.

revealed a highly significant negative correlation between anti-HBs titers and serum creatinine [ 27 ].

Introduction The incidence and prevalence of kidney stones have been reported in several publications showing an increasing trend.

Overlack and co-authors reported a frequency of 46.7% for asymptomatic low [Na] S values, and a highly significant statistical association between low [Na] S values and high blood viscosity values in 15 patients with multiple myeloma [ 41 ].

There have been a few reports about the ALMI in the research literature [ 34 ]; a study of Caucasians [ 35 ] reported a decreasing trend in the mean ALMI with increasing age in both males and females, which was not consistent with our results because we included a population with a mean age less than 60 years.
