“a positive trend”

A positive trend was documented from 1990 to 2017, and dengue rates increased by an average of 64% per year (AAPC = 64%, 95% CI 44–87%).

An inspection of pre- and post-test GMFM-66 percentiles ( Figure 2 ) showed a positive trend, with the largest improvements during the first five periods.

30 , 31 Iron deficiency demonstrated a significant association with oral cancer (RR = 1.067, 95% CI: 1.002-1.136, P = .042), while its association with periodontitis showed a positive trend but did not reach statistical significance (RR = 1.026, 95% CI: 0.996-1.057).

Its superiority over paracentesis was demonstrated in terms of puncture-free survival in a randomised clinical trial: puncture-free survival was significantly longer in the catumaxomab group (median 46 days) than in the control group (median 11 days), and overall survival showed a positive trend for the catumaxomab group [ 5 ].

Recognising this, the field of refugee education is witnessing a positive trend among international actors advocating for disability inclusion, evident through our research and through the increase in policies and funding targeting refugees with disabilities (INEE 2023 ; UNICEF 2023 ; ECW 2022 ).

CSF Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers Across the full cohort of subjects with AD CSF biomarker results ( n = 46), univariate linear regression analysis demonstrated a positive trend between Factor 2 and CSF AB42 measures ( β = 195, R 2 = 0.11, p.adj = 0.3) and a negative trend between Factor 4 and CSF AB42 measures ( β = −154, R 2 = 0.09, p.adj = 0.49).

In contrast, scores for causal relationship followed a positive trend as it increased with age.

Our findings demonstrate a positive trend in the alignment between GBD outputs and literature-based values from GBD 2016 to GBD 2021, while also highlighting methodological gaps that merit further attention.

A positive trend in modern medicine is to acknowledge that not all patients are created equal and the resulting strong impetus towards individualized medicine and treatment tailored to the specific needs of individual patients.

These results seem to disagree with some studies found in the literature, where the correlations between the concentration of this element and the fish size showed a positive trend ( de Carvalho and Hartz 2009 ; Naeem et al., 2011 ; Yi and Zhang 2012 ), with the difference that most of these examples of positive correlations are related to liver concentrations and not to muscle tissue.

Although the difference did not reach statistical significance, 28-day survival showed a positive trend in the treatment group also.

A positive trend in tumour-localized CAR T cell mass was observed for mice bearing cytokine-expressing tumours compared with those with unmodified tumours (+37% in SK-N-AS and +18% in SK-N-BE2c), although this did not reach statistical significance.

10 Our results are closer to the two studies that found an increased risk, with a positive trend observed in viticulture (HR = 1.21 [0.98‐1.48]).

Also, there was a positive trend in the conspiracy tweets and an increase in users in 2020.

In some circumstances, the biomarker changes during the trial indicated a positive trend, although the clinical outcome was unsatisfactory.

While the general population's acknowledgment and appreciation imply a positive trend toward recognizing nursing's significance, patients’ less favorable perceptions highlight the necessity for tailored educational initiatives.

15 34 35 While our study identified a positive trend in the timely publication of preregistered primary outcomes over the analysed period, non-publication remains a significant problem (63% for observational studies during 2016–2017 and 40% for interventional trials), and the rate of improvement appears to be plateauing.

However, it was possible to observe a positive trend in rate of closure by increasing the ratio of the astrocyte population. 2.3.

Of the 41,292 journal articles analysed, there was a positive trend in funded polycystic ovary syndrome research from the 2000s until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moreover, ocular cancer showed a positive trend in males and a negative trend in females for the period between 2005 and 2016.

However, there was a positive trend in ORS scores over time, suggesting that both patients and social network members perceived improvements as the therapy continued.

Nonetheless, IG showed a better trend ( p > 0.05) in the testosterone/cortisol ratio concerning CG at the end of the study, which could translate into a potential better response to training load and volume and establish a positive trend in the recovery process in athletes.

Notably, patient QoL remained stable for most functional and symptom scales in both arms, and a positive trend towards a lower risk of the QoL deterioration was reported for the patients receiving trifluridine/tipiracil. 9 Use of combination regimens of fluoropyrimidines with other chemotherapeutic agents (ie, 5-FU, leucovorin and oxaliplatin) and/or molecularly targeted agents has lengthened survival time in patients with metastatic CRC and GC, compared with earlier treatment with 5-FU alone.

Although a positive trend over time was found for the quality of the included studies ( Figure 7 ), no significant time trend could be detected for the effect size (not shown).

Results Among the 11 methods to predict Cre excretion, 7 overestimated—5 of which showed a positive trend bias with larger differences at higher average concentrations—and 3 underestimated—2 of which showed a negative trend bias with larger differences at lower average concentrations.
