In this study, a definite trend is evident that the incidence of malperfusion (including myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and acute renal injury) in the high-WBCc group were higher than those in the normal-WBCc group, although there was no statistical difference ( P = 0.094; P = 0.683; P = 0.264, respectively).

Keywords: Acute exacerbation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, predictors of outcome, rural area status released display-pdf yes is-olf no is-manuscript no is-preprint no is-journal-matter no is-scanned no is-retracted no Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of death and disability around the world.[ 1 ] The age-adjusted death rate of this disease is highest in low-income areas of the world including South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.[ 2 ] Even in high-income countries, there is a definite trend in socioeconomic related outcome with those in the lower socioeconomic status faring worse.[ 3 ] The high economic burden this disease imposes on the individual, and the health care delivery system of a nation needs to be emphasized.[ 4 ] In the Indian context, there is limited data regarding prevalence of COPD.
The concentration of clinical trials in urban areas (e.g., Seoul metropolitan area) was a definite trend in Korea.
When the flocculation efficiency was compared with the proteins content, it was seen that there was a definite trend.
SCC development distant from primary lesion sites was only seen in intermediate or major sized lesions, and although nonsignificant ( P = 0.104, Fisher's exact test), there was a definite trend for lesions >200 mm 2 to exhibit further disease, malignant transformation, and SCC development following treatment. 3.6.
We observed that while there was some variation in the measured conductivity values across the three sites, which ranged between 0.16–0.21 V, there was a definite trend in axial thermal conductivity of the different fibre cell wall layers: k SL|| > k CML ≥ k SL ⊥.
A definite trend was observed with increasing difference between the two in taller subjects [ Figure 1 ].
Finally, the NDR observed in the lateral GO devices is completely different from the noise and random peaks usually observed in the I-V characteristics of devices based on GO or other oxides, as the NDR peaks in this study are repeatable and follow a definite trend, unlike peaks due to random charge trapping and emission at high density of defect sites in GO or other oxides 49 .
The level of methyl chavicol and 1,8-cineole after the application of these polymers did not show a definite trend, but the content was in the allowable limit.
Our choice is dictated by the observation that, in late Autumn, Winter, and early Spring, a definite trend towards increasing average temperatures was observed in the European Alps in the last 20 years [ 14 ].
It was felt that there was a definite trend for trainees moving to countries with less demanding hours, a better work–life balance and better remuneration.
Adult treatment panel-II Adult treatment panel-II was based on observational epidemiological review, lipoprotein metabolism, animal studies, and early clinical trials.[ 7 , 8 ] Pooling of data from early clinical trials revealed a definite trend towards reduced total mortality in patients with CHD but no clinical trial or meta-analysis showed reduction in total mortality in the primary prevention patients.[ 14 ] ATP-II recommended a cautious use of lipid lowering agents in primary prevention of CHD since benefits from pharmacological treatment of lower risk patients would diminish by increased relative risks and cost of the therapy.
As shown in Figure 7 , the distributions do not exhibit a definite trend, suggesting a more complex interplay of other factors on the effectiveness of dissolution.
Moreover, a definite trend can be observed from the 2 hpi samples to the 12 hpi samples, showing that the change in the overall expression progresses in accordance with sampling time.
This showed that there is a definite trend, which can be attributed to the change in the cholesterol content.
Most intriguingly, the clades of vertebrates and arthropods that underwent WGD and duplication of Teneurin paralogs have a definite trend of equivalent increases for the LPHNs.
Results of paired t -tests for VAS appetite measurements showed some significance between-group differences and a definite trend towards lower levels of hunger and a desire to eat, as well as higher levels of fullness and satisfaction, thus greater levels of satiety, in participants consuming PE with PJ, compared to placebo.
The effect of temperature on the desorption yields depends on the resin and does not present a definite trend.
Taking together, these results demonstrate a definite trend toward more integrated approaches to diagnosis while using less invasive screening techniques in synergy with advanced imaging and confirmatory tissue analyses for purposes of improving diagnostic accuracy and avoiding unneeded invasive procedures.
This suggests a definite trend concerning measurement angles.
Two patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (6%) developed hypertriglyceridaemia and there was also a definite trend towards moderately raised TGs in the diabetic group; 14 (47%) were shown to have TG levels above the upper limit of the normal range (>2.1 mmol l −1 ).
Although the data on the outcomes of liver transplant recipients with COVID-19 are inconsistent, there is a definite trend towards higher mortality risks in transplant recipients. 4 , 5 Liver transplant recipients or other immunocompromised patients were not included in the registration trials of mRNA vaccine studies for SARS-CoV-2.
