“a positive trend”

When looking at specific incidence rate ratio, there was a positive trend of IE incidence rate between 2002 and 2016 ( P <0.001), with annual percent change (APC) of 1.8% (95% CI, 1.7–1.9) across the United States; however, the trend was nonlinear with a decrease of incidence rate ratio between 2002 and 2008, followed by increasing incidence rate ratio between 2009 and 2016.

However, this correlation has a positive trend when the analysis is weighted by the sample size (β = 0.055; p < 0.001).

Results IL-33 expression showed a positive trend among controls (1/26 = 3.8%), aMCI (9/35 = 25.7%), and AD (17/39 = 43.6%) (trend analysis: P < 0.001).

A positive trend by the duration of employment was observed for male construction workers (p< 0.001).

Results : Our results indicated a positive trend in perception from one assessment to another ( F (2, 82) = 20.2, p < .001, η 2 p = .330), along with a decrease in perceived risk associated with treatment ( F (2, 82) = 5.3, p < .007, η 2 p = .114).

Screening Attendance Rate Based On Merged Data From 2009 to 2019, a gradual increase occurred (69%; n = 1126, 75%; n = 1,370, 77%; n = 1,067) in the number of women who participated in cervical cancer screening, showing a positive trend ( p < 0.001; Table 1 ).

RESULTS The first reported Indian study using TMS, for assessing corticospinal excitability in children with malnourishment, was from Banaras Hindu University in 1997.[ 4 ] Twenty-five years since then there has been a linear growth of publications, with 2951 citations so far, and a positive trend (linear forecast trend regression coefficient R 2 = 0.7869, P < .001) from India in the field of TMS and neuropsychiatry [ Figure 1 ].

Neonatal central adiposity (determined using waist:length ratio) was negatively associated with maternal age, and positively associated with the following parameters: smoking status, maternal pre-pregnancy arm circumference, percentage energy from saturated fat in late pregnancy, postprandial glucose at 28 weeks gestation and membership of the control group with a positive trend towards association with trimester 2 glycaemic load R 2 adj 38.1% (F = 8.000, p < 0.001).

A positive trend was found over time, with the prevalence of anaemia increasing by 0.12% each year on average (Regression coefficient + 0.123; 95% CI: 0.107, 0.139; p < 0.001).

Systolic and diastolic blood pressure also showed a positive trend across quartiles (P < 0.001 for both).

From T0 to the end of the program the 6MWD showed a positive trend ( F = 58.81; p < 0.001) with significant differences observed between the first two visits (T0 and T1) and the remaining ones.

Race/ethnicity of research subjects were reported in 785 (73.5%) clinical trials ( n = 736,160), with a positive trend of reporting noted from 2012 to 2016 (68.8%; range 63.8–73.6% per year) to 2017–2022 (79.3%; range 67.4–91.7% per year, p < 0.001).

A positive trend was observed between DR prevalence and SUA quartile (χ 2 = 20.76, P < 0.001, crosstabs chi-squared test for trend).

A positive trend, with a significant decrease in the percentage of AMR was found towards Pivmecillinam (decrease: −142.92%; p < 0.001), Ciprofloxacin (decrease: −31.30%; p < 0.001), Trimethoprim (decrease: −25.62%; p < 0.001), Gentamycin (decrease: −19.58%; p < 0.001), Ampicillin/Amoxicillin (decrease: −12.43%; p < 0.001).

A positive trend in PBT use over time was observed with 2.8% of cases being treated in 2008 compared to 21.5% in 2014 ( P = .001).

However, there was a positive trend between QFTGIT and TST positivity (X 2 = 96.76, P < 0.001).

In contrast, NB+ cells displayed a positive trend ( p < .001), suggesting a slightly enhanced cAMP production in response to NA stimulation in the cell processes (Figure 6d , right). 4 DISCUSSION Previous studies on cultured astrocytes revealed that Ca 2+ signaling is phasic and fast, whereas cAMP signaling exhibits tonic and slower dynamics (Horvat et al., 2016 ), which was subsequently confirmed in an in vivo system (Oe et al., 2020 ), validating the use of cultured cells to study basic cell processes.

When the dioxin level was included as quartiles in the model, AORs were 1.8 (95% CI 1.1–2.9), 2.9 (95% CI 1.7–4.8), and 3.4 (95% CI 2.0–5.8) for the second, third, and fourth quartiles with a positive trend ( P < 0.001) (Table 2 ).

The average hospital monthly purchase spending of priceregulated antibiotics also decreased rapidly (β=-0.49, P <.010) and a positive trend change (β=0.04, P <.001) in average hospital spending of price-unregulated antibiotics was found.

When the medium was replenished with rTsSerp-supplemented medium and the IECs were cultured with the IILs for 2 h, rTsSerp obviously facilitated the larval invasion of the IECs; this facilitation was rTsSerp dose dependent ( r = 0.996) and showed a positive trend with the increase in the rTsSerp concentration ( F = 425.376, P < 0.001); however, the TRX-tag did not accelerate larval invasion (Figure 10 D, E).

Results The number of LGV cases rose by a factor four, from 21 in 2011 to 88 in 2016, and regression models showed a positive trend estimate of 14% increase per half year ( p < 0.001).

This was followed by a positive trend change with an IRR of 1.004 (95%CI 1.001–1.008, P = 0.017) that resulted in an increasing trend over the post-reform period: IRR of 1.002 (95%CI 1.001–1.003, P < 0.001).

Impact on utilisation In Benin, there was a positive trend in caesarean section rates between 1993 to 2011 ( p < 0.001), but we found no evidence that the implementation of the exemption policy in 2009 significantly increased utilisation rates over and above the existing secular trend ( p = 0.7331) (Fig. 2 ).
