Seroprevalence showed a positive trend with age (Extended Mantel–Haenszel Chi-square for linear trend, p value = 0.002).

In a multiple linear regression model, hospital improvement was mainly associated with the use of reperfusion therapy (B 53.11, CI 95% 49.87, 56.36, p < 0.0001), but a positive trend in patient progress has also been found in the last ten years (B 0.88, 95% CI 0.32, 1.43, p = 0.002).

There was a positive trend between the level of knowledge and attitude (from negative to positive), gamma = 0.66, p = 0.002, indicating that greater knowledge was associated with more positive attitudes (Table 6 ).

Long‐term changes in growth rates at the population level When examining the long‐term changes in growth rates per site, the Columbretes Islands presented a negative trend in linear extension ( r 2 = 0.717, p = 0.002) and calcification ( r 2 = 0.595, p = 0.009) between 2003 and 2012, and a positive trend in density ( r 2 = 0.635, p = 0.010) and calcification ( r 2 = 0.536, p = 0.025) between 2013 and 2021.

A positive trend was observed between stabilized aneurysm and age ( P = 0.002; OR, 1.105; 95% CI, 1.037–1.178) based on multivariate analysis with morphologic factors.

Only a positive trend was highlighted that might denote a possible moderate correlation between sugammadex recovery time and: AST post OLT (r = 0.611, p = 0.003); ALT post OLT (r = 0.50, p = 0.02); and amount of colloids (r = 0.50, p = 0.02).

Regarding the abstract quality score, a positive trend emerges: a high evaluation score means there is a higher probability the work will be published in extenso (p = 0.003).

The proportion of positions filled by DO graduates and seniors increased from 0.31% in 2008 to 13.14% in 2022, a positive trend which was statistically significant at P = 0.003 with a beta coefficient of 0.009.

The significant enrichment of the early clonal driver GATA3 in the Nigerian group and a positive trend in its recurrence with African ancestry (proportion trend test, P = 0.0035) along with a significantly lower age at diagnosis in patients with tumors carrying GATA3 mutations is likely to be an underlying genomic event associated with young onset breast cancer.
