“a favorable trend”

Of note, both in the unmatched population and in the two models derived from PSM, M/V showed a favorable trend on mortality over M/V compared with C/A in patients with septic shock and under mechanical ventilation.

Our study showed a favorable trend that 73.3% of patients in the herbal formula group had good outcomes at 3 months after stroke onset, which was slightly higher than those in the placebo group.

Hence, it did not show a favorable trend with the drop in VAP rates.

A favorable trend across many countries shows that between 2007 and 2012, a number of countries expanded scopes of practice for various providers, including nurses [ 13 ].

Among patients reconstructed with gingivobuccal flaps (n = 18), 16/18 (88.9%) maintained stable tip projection, suggesting a favorable trend but not demonstrating superiority.

Some studies have shown that in NSCLC, smokers have a favorable trend for ICIs compared with non-smokers ( 53 – 55 ), which is consistent with our results.

Craniofacial or skull base procedures also showed a favorable trend toward reduced rehospitalization, whereas rehospitalization following orthognathic surgery remained infrequent in both groups.

Using univariate analysis, although Group 2 showed a favorable trend in patient survival rates compared with Groups 3 and 4, the statistical significance was weak.

also observed a favorable trend of BBs use in ICIs-treated lung cancer patients, but it was not statistically significant ( 11 ); our larger sample and rigorous methodology likely yield more reliable results. β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) are widely expressed in tumor cells, immune cells, and vascular endothelial cells.

As FBs progressed in development, there was a concurrent alleviation of the systemic inflammatory state, indicating a favorable trend ( 40 ).

18.9%); a favorable trend was also observed in patients with non‐AC histology and wild‐type EGFR .

However, there was no statistically significant difference in terms of mPFS between the combination treatment and lenvatinib alone (HR: 0.66; 95% CI 0.39–1.10; P =0.12), despite a favorable trend. 35 Notably, the benefit in terms of PFS was confirmed by a blinded independent radiologic assessment. 37 Overall response rate (ORR) was 43% for patients receiving the combination therapy, compared to 6% for patients treated with everolimus alone (rate ratio 7.2; 95% CI 2.3–22.5; P <0.0001); ORR was 27% for the single-agent lenvatinib arm, but data compared to those of the combination arm were not statistically significant (rate ratio 1.6; 95% CI 0.9–2.8; P =0.10).

A retrospective comparative analysis in 550 patients (REGOTAS) ( 11 ) suggested that regorafenib should be given first in patients aged <65 years, but TAS-102 in patients aged ≥65 years, based on a favorable trend of OS.

The results indicated that a two-dose vaccination with GBP510/AS03 induced stronger neutralizing antibody and cell-mediated immune responses than ChAdOx1-S against the ancestral D614G strain 2 weeks after the second vaccination, sustained a favorable trend to GBP510/AS03 up to 6 months, and had a clinically acceptable safety profile up to 6 months after the second vaccination ( Song et al., 2023 ).

Celecoxib might be considered a safer NSAID than others for EEE as it was shown to produce fewer renal events than ibuprofen and a favorable trend when compared with naproxen [ 136 ].

After 3 days, the weight growth resumed a favorable trend.

1 The trial met its primary objective, demonstrating superiority of digitoxin over placebo for time to first heart failure hospitalization (HFH) or all-cause death (whichever occurred first), with a favorable trend in all-cause mortality. 1 To further support the robustness of these findings and capture treatment benefit across outcomes ordered by clinical relevance, we report results from win ratio analyses.

Early Switch to Oral Administration Early switch from parenteral to oral administration is recommended—even after 48 h—when the patients show a significant clinical improvement (afebrile, hemodynamically stable, in good general conditions) and the inflammation markers (generally C-reactive protein) show a favorable trend.

Although DCR showed a favorable trend, but the difference was insignificant (RR =1.17, 95% CI: 0.98–1.40) ( Figure 3E ).

We found that risk scores had a favorable trend in both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals with a more prominent decrease in diabetic patients which may indicate better performance of health care in secondary prevention compared to the primary level.

In general, 40% of patients receiving curative chemoradiation failed to return to work after treatment, but patients randomized to IMPT were more able to keep on working and demonstrated a favorable trend toward higher productivity recovery levels.

Here, though not reaching statistical significance, a favorable trend towards empagliflozin was observed regarding left ventricular strain, which was more pronounced in the HFpEF group (adjusted mean treatment difference, 2.18% [SE, 1.16 (95% CI, − 0.28 to 4.64)]; p = 0.08) [ 34 ].

Although increases in airway volume and surface area were noted, they did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.327 and p = 0.050, respectively), but suggesting a favorable trend toward airway adaptation.

In a secondary analysis of an exercise-based RCT in women with breast cancer, higher SOC was associated with lower perceived need for psycho-oncological care and demonstrated a favorable trend toward reduced study dropout (relative risk, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.18–1.00), although associations with exercise session attendance and intervention dropout did not reach statistical significance [ 27 ].

There was a favorable trend for CAS in perioperative stroke, myocardial infarction, and death in patients with high surgical risk such as restenosis after CEA. 28) On the other hand, CAS has disadvantages in the patients with severe arterial tortuosity and/or calcified lesion in comparison to CEA.
