“a decreasing trend”

Richness in forests showed a decreasing trend with increasing latitude (slope = -0.022, P < 0.001), whereas in urban areas, although there was a decreasing trend, it was not significant (slope = -0.003, P > 0.05).

Periodontal Severity and COPD Exacerbations Figure 2 shows the association between lung function parameters (post-bronchodilator FEV 1 percent predicted, FVC percent predicted, and FEV 1 /FVC ratio) and periodontitis severity, which showed that an increase in periodontitis severity and lung functions followed a decreasing trend even after adjusting for smoking (in pack-years), which was statistically significant ( p < 0.001).

Variables such as age, weight, RBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, albumin, PCO2, PO2, and pH showed a decreasing trend with increasing LAR ( P < 0.001), while WBC count, RDW, creatinine, BUN, ALT, AST, potassium, glucose, INR, PT, PTT, and lactate demonstrated an increasing trend with higher LAR quartiles (all P < 0.001).

In contrast, BMI, prevalence of PCOS, AMH levels, and the number of oocytes retrieved showed a decreasing trend (all P < 0.001) ( Table 1 ). 3.2 Univariate analysis for number of oocytes retrieved The univariate analysis results are shown in Table 2 .

In addition, the proportion of anesthetic procedures performed by non-anesthesiologists at medical institutions without employed anesthesiologists showed a decreasing trend from 76–78% in 2011–2013 to 71% in 2016 (P < 0.001).

A decreasing trend was found for SUA levels in the XO quartiles (p < 0.001).

The concentrations of total ceramide and total FFA showed an increasing trend (P < 0.05) in women with PCOS, while the concentrations of LPG had a decreasing trend (P < 0.001).

A decreasing trend in MTR values across levels was found for whole WM ( r = −0.2, p < 0.001).

A decreasing trend in QOL-VF subscale scores was observed as TED severity progressed from mild to sight-threatening TED ( P < 0.001).

Figure 2 also shows a decreasing trend in AH monthly average LOS for a 1-year post-intervention period ( p value < 0.001, R 2 = 0.452) and a corresponding increasing trend for a percentage of patients with LOS ≤ 10 days ( p value < 0.001, R 2 = 0.522).

Additionally, there was a decreasing trend in obese GP hospitalizations with bariatric surgery status from 5.68% in 2007 to 2.55% in 2017 (P<0.001).

With the increase in yield, the total Si uptake had an increasing trend (r = 0.773, p < 0.001), and the Si uptake per 100 kg of grains had a decreasing trend (r = 0.800, p < 0.001).

Fluoroscopy utilization Fluoroscopy time and median dose-area product (measured in cGycm 2 ) showed a decreasing trend over time for all arrhythmias ( P < 0.001 for all trends), see Figure 2 .

1 C, after BBP, the water, 50 % ethanol, and 75 % ethanol leachate contents of PR showed a decreasing trend, with a significant decrease in 50 % ethanol leachate content ( P < 0.001).

Among the different BALAD-2 scores, we found that the 5-year survival rate showed a decreasing trend with each increase from ≤2 to 4 (68.1%, 60.8% and 34.5%; Log-rank P <0.001; Figure 1 B).

There was a decreasing trend in C-MMSE scores with increasing age and an increasing trend in C-MMSE scores with increasing levels of education, annual household income, and social support (all P < 0.001).

The rates of chromosomal abnormality in these groups were 59.13% (285/482), 21.28% (30/141) and 19.44% (7/36), respectively, showing a decreasing trend with respect to the increasing gestational age of the fetuses (χ 2 = 75.741, p < 0.001).

A decreasing trend with age was seen for hydroperoxides of linalool and limonene ( p = 0.001) going from 20.8% and 24%, respectively among the 0–5‐year‐old children to 12% and 10.5% in the oldest children of 13–16 years of age (Table 3b ).

In the segmented regression analysis by ICU patient-days, fentanyl presented with an increasing trend in use before the intervention (β = 16; 95%CI 7 - 25; p = 0.002), which decreased in level (β = - 128; 95%CI -195 - -62; p = 0.001) and then in slope for a decreasing trend (β = - 24; 95%CI -35 - -13; p < 0.001) ( Table 2 , Figure 2 ).

Conversely, a decreasing trend was detected for education years and HDL-cholesterol ( P < 0.001 for difference across groups).

The age group from 40 to 49 years, in turn, showed a decreasing trend, with a reduction of 1.292 in the incidence rate per year (p = 0.001).

The results, shown in Table 7 , reveal a decreasing trend in BP across all three dietary changes, with a significant correlation between the changes and the decrease in BP ( P < 0.001).

In fact, the negative R between W and SPEI over 22-year sliding windows showed a decreasing trend of −0.015 yr -1 ( p < 0.001 with a t -test; Fig. 1b ) from 1951–1972 ( R = −0.40, p > 0.05 with a t -test) to 1989–2010 ( R = −0.66, p < 0.001 with a t -test).
