“a significant trend”

In detail, participants in the highest quintile of the TLI (highest scores) had 3.7% less risk for developing dementia per year of follow-up compared with those in the lowest quintile, with a significant trend for a dose–response association ( Table 3 ).

Linear regressions were performed on subjects’ full distribution (i.e., no binning) of reach angles and RTs after the critical RT bin, and a t- test was performed on the resulting slopes to test for the presence of a significant trend.

Results A significant trend was observed across increasing serum OPG concentration tertiles for age, HD duration, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and PWV.

Studies demonstrate a significant trend towards the incorporation of robotic techniques in ureteroplasty, showcasing their effectiveness as a safe alternative to traditional open surgery approaches ( 47 , 48 ).

These four genes also exhibited a significant trend in the proportion of driver mutations since all nonsynonymous mutations were considered driver mutations (Tables 2(a) and 2(b) , ).

The main findings were as follows: (1) patients with a lower baseline BMI exhibited a higher risk of cognitive decline after 1 year of AChEI treatment compared to those with a higher baseline BMI; (2) the concurrent use of antipsychotics in patients was associated with an increased risk of disease progression; and (3) concurrent usage of BZRA in patients with AD showed a significant trend with cognitive worsening.

The results of our subgroup analyses also revealed an interesting phenomenon: In urban and Suburban teaching hospitals, there was a significant trend toward lower direct and total costs as the rate of alert detection by an attending physician increased.

There were no treatment-related deaths in either arm. Although none of the serum concentrations of albumin, total bilirubin, creatinine, or prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) showed a significant trend during the treatment course (Fig. 4 ), a significant reduction in the serum cholinesterase concentration was observed in four out of ten cases receiving the combination therapy ( p < 0.0001, r = 0.86 Fig. 2d and Table 4 ).

However, when the number of mammograms was considered as a continuous variable, under the assumption of linearity, we found a significant trend in BC risk (OR = 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01–1.06) with an increased risk of 4% by additional exposure.

As in our results, they demonstrated a significant trend toward choroidal thinning from the third month of therapy, which was sustained for 1 year.

Of note, there was also a significant trend for DYNC1H1 and CR1 between the variant and nonvariant normal samples.

In model 1, when compared to the first quartile, the risk of hypertension was marginally lower in the second quartile (OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.63–0.86, P < .01) and the third quartile (OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.65–0.84, P < .01), with a significant trend ( P for trend = .02).

We did not observe a significant trend in numbers of exposed or destroyed buildings in the Eastern Forests and found that average ERC of destructive fires decreased over time, coincident with climate change-driven precipitation increases ( 45 ).

A significant trend to reduce the medians of the blood pressure values (SBP, -10 mm Hg in Group A and B; DBP – 4 mm Hg in Group A and 7 mm Hg in Group B, respectively), total cholesterol (Group A, 181 vs. 148 mg/dl and Group B, 189 vs160 mg/dl, respectively) and LDL cholesterol levels from 104 to 78 mg/dl (Group A) and from 107 to 81 mg/dl (Group B) were observed in both groups (all p < 0.05).

( 14 ) in the US multiethnic cohort study reported a significant trend and elevated FL risk the highest category of “fat and meat” intake (HR = 5.16, CI = 1.33–20.00) in men based on a small number of exposed cases ( n = 12) but no association for women.

However, due to the lack of a significant trend in temperature data during early spring, we did not investigate the relationship between temperature and Poaceae pollen season start dates.

Although SINS primarily measures spinal instability and its association with survival prognosis is unclear, our analysis showed a significant trend: the rate of mortality within 6 months increased as the SINS category progressed from stable (20.37%), to potentially unstable (22.97%), and to unstable (43.48%) ( P = .0311) ( Figure 2C , Table 3 ).

Hence, one could detect a significant trend for the troponin to rise after vaccination, or if the changes in prevaccination versus postvaccination are significantly different between groups of participants.

Age-specific and age-adjusted prevalence of moderate-to-high BF and PTG by sample characteristics, stratified by cancer type and sex Pattern of age-specific prevalence: a significant trend by age was noted in which older survivors reported lower prevalence of moderate-to-high BF and PTG.

The survey shows that the incidence of cervical cancer in China is continuously increasing and there is a significant trend of younger age at diagnosis ( 2 ).
