“a possible trend”

Results from our small pilot showed a possible trend towards improved appointment-keeping with primary care providers in those who received coaching.

As a result, the present observations should be interpreted as indicating a possible trend rather than definitive evidence of sex-specific toxicity.

Both measures were higher in the PC group than in the HC group, indicating a possible trend toward healthier dietary habits in PASC patients.

On the other hand, some studies demonstrated a possible trend, linking maternal Vit-D deficiency with a greater risk of Type 1 diabetes mellitus development in the offspring.

In 2020, Conde‐Sampayo 54 conducted a systematic review of exposure to residential radon and COPD and reported a possible trend towards the existence of this association, though no definitive conclusion could be reached.

Acceptability ratings were related to gender at P =.08, indicating a possible trend toward females finding the modules more satisfying than males.

The distribution of surgeries suggests a possible trend toward fewer extensive procedures in the neoadjuvant methotrexate group.

In order to investigate whether a possible trend may be assumed in the comparisons of GIC and amalgam, the chronological results from 4 datasets concerning restorations (single- and multiple surface combined) after 1 year (DS 07), 2 years (DS 08), 3 years (DS 14) and 5 years (DS 01) were included in a cumulative meta-analysis [ 20 , 25 , 26 ].

However, we observed a possible trend towards greater bleb survival in the short and medium term with its use.

In our comparison of the effect of anaesthesia type on results within each treatment group, we observed a possible trend towards more effective prevention of major VTE and VTE-related mortality when using either neuraxial or combination anaesthesia as opposed to general anaesthesia in the dabigatran groups.

The line slope near, but slightly below, 1.0 (95% confidence interval: 0.868–0.943) revealed that degradation produced a generally uniform increase in C t irrespective of an individual RNA’s abundance, with a possible trend toward a proportionally greater loss of higher abundant mRNAs.

Although we observed a possible trend toward increased absolute levels of FSH in women who received saline plus heparin, this was more likely from variable ovarian reserve (as measured by AMH), resulting in relatively higher overall FSH levels in the women in group 2—who also did not receive heparin—and group 3 with respect to the women in group 1.

Sex showed a borderline association (β = 0.484, OR = 1.62, p = 0.056), indicating a possible trend toward sex-related differences that did not reach statistical significance.

5 CONCLUSION In Germany, alcohol‐specific mortality increased in 2020 compared to the preceding year, indicating a possible trend reversal in decreasing alcohol‐specific mortality rates since 2016.

The OR for County XVI is 2.00 (95% CI: 0.52–7.74), suggesting a possible trend, but the wide confidence interval and high p -value limit confidence in this effect.

We observed a possible trend change for female oral cancer in all Nordic countries at around 2015 but further years will show if the change is real.

Silencing of GSTM1 in HUVECs led to an increased expression of endothelial adhesion molecules including MCP-1 and ICAM-1 and a possible trend in VCAM-1 overexpression.

When isolated to the late follow-up period alone, there was a non-significant reduction in BCC incidence with daily sunscreen users (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.49–1.14), indicating a possible trend towards decreased BCC incidence over longer time periods [ 12 ]. 3.

Some form of oncological data has been reported only by eight studies[ 20 - 22 , 24 - 28 ] and, even though no differences have been reported in terms of disease free survival and overall survival in this systematic review, a recent meta-analysis highlighted a possible trend towards a lower 5 years overall survival for patients treated with a laparoscopic approach for ICC when compared to those operated by open approach[ 39 ].

Implications for research and practice The ARRS is associated with a reduction in the pro-poor distribution of administrative staff, with a possible trend towards the distribution of qualified GPs, nurses, DPC, total staff, and non-ARRS staff becoming more pro-rich.

Conversely, a UK study found a possible trend towards increased strokes after a year from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic [ 27 ].

Although carbamazepine use was not significantly associated with serum zinc levels, a higher proportion of patients in the low zinc group were receiving this medication, suggesting a possible trend.

Sensitivity analyses suggested a possible trend toward benefits from AA, indicating that evidence of benefit could be confirmed with a larger sample or fewer dropouts.

According to our dataset, HER2 3+ and Luminal B subtypes were more frequently observed among patients with a residual tumour, suggesting a possible trend that did not achieve statistical significance.
