( 7 ) reported a positive trend, showing that the surgeon’s medical school, residency and fellowship prestige were given greater importance with the increase in patient education level.
Moreover, a positive trend in HR appeared in 14 participants in Cluster 1 (73.68%), 12 participants in Cluster 2 (75%), and 5 participants in Cluster 3 (50%).
In the grain-consuming areas, while the impact on FS exhibits a positive trend, it is not statistically significant.
Figure S1 shows a positive trend between experimental Δ G bind and increasing COM distances between substituent rings and Tyr215, measured from the MSλD trajectories.
Patients with higher percentages of IFN-γ + CD4 + T N and IL-17A + CD4 + T N cells had significantly prolonged PFS, while higher percentages of TNF-α + CD4 + T N cells showed a positive trend without statistical significance.
Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) data indicated that only the high SDI region had a positive trend (0.36, 95% CI: 0.18–0.53), with the sharpest decline in low-to-medium SDI regions (−0.42, 95% CI: −0.6 to −0.23) (Table 1 ).
HOMA index positively correlate with %ibw, significantly ( p < 0.05), with a positive trend of correlation with BMI SDS.
Follow-up by two prospective cohort studies suggested a positive trend of cadmium exposure as a risk factor for endometrial cancer in women with a BMI<25 in one [ 25 ], while the other found no association [ 26 ] possibly due to apparent difficulty in accurately estimating biological exposure to environmental cadmium.
Further, there are indications for a positive trend in extreme precipitation as well as a projected increase in day‐to‐day rainfall variability for the high emission scenario during the monsoon period (Chaturvedi et al ., 2012 ; Menon et al ., 2013 ).
While the large part of the REML estimates shows correlations between 1 and −1 and therefore a clear trend between the phenotypic and genomic correlation is missing, the Bayesian estimates show a positive trend between the phenotypic and genomic correlation.
In addition, this result reveals a positive trend as the median time between HCV testing and treatment initiation was two times longer in 2016 (77 days) and 37 days in 2019 [ 4 ].
2 b) shows a positive trend in Region 2.
While CWI demonstrated statistically significant reductions in pain prevalence both at rest and during exercise, the MAS group also showed a positive trend in pain reduction and improved PPT, despite these effects not reaching statistical significance.
Although the intervention showed a positive trend in symptom improvement, the lack of statistical significance may be due to the short intervention duration and limited sample size.
2 L), such as the base of support and the stride length, although they failed to evidence significant differences among groups, a positive trend with a gradual improvement up to the forth week after implantation was also evidenced.
The altered production and/or clearance of these intermediates may have accounted for the significant accumulation of glucose and glucose-6-phosphate, along with a positive trend toward other glycolytic intermediates.
From the Apolipoprotein MOrtality RISk (AMORIS) study with repeated measurements of CRP in a prospective cohort study noted a positive trend between CRP and risk of developing prostate cancer and concluded a link between inflammatory markers and cancer risk [ 53 ]. 10.
Available data did not show an improvement in OS with ICIs in the early phase, although a positive trend for pembrolizumab has been recorded, receiving the Food and Drug Administration’s approval in this setting.
Kelp condition had a significant positive correlation with zooplankton abundance (21.8% deviance explained), with a strong positive trend in MR and a positive trend in TC until kelp condition score 3, after which the correlation leveled off (Fig. 5 B).
For male and female kidney cancer, improvement in survival came in two waves, interrupted by a slow improvement around 1990, followed by a positive trend before the year 2000; the increase was highest in 5-year survival, from over 40% in 2000 to almost 80% towards 2020.
Similarly, the patients’ judgment on their QoL was “very good” or “satisfactory” in 91% of the cases at the last visit with a positive trend across the study (Fig. 4 ).
This represents a positive trend toward more rigorous model assessments. • Large sample sizes (44 studies): utilization of large databases, such as Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III), MIMIC-IV, and eICU, provided substantial data for model development and testing. • xAI methods (38 studies): reporting of xAI methods can help the final user (i.e., clinicians, nurses, or hospital administrators) better understand the most relevant factors for the model in use.
