“a significant trend”

A p -value < 0.05 was accepted as significant, and 0.05 ≤ p -value < 0.1 was accepted as a significant trend. 3.

Another study also reveals a significant trend towards increased risk for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) with high plasma BACE1 level and insulin resistance in type 2 DM patients ( Tian et al., 2020 ).

Furthermore, a significant trend across increasing BAR quartiles was observed for in-hospital mortality (P for trend <0.001 in unadjusted model; P for trend = 0.001 in Model 1 and Model 2).

Furthermore, the transition from rigid substrates in MEMS/NEMS to flexible substrates, which is intended to enhance the flexibility of deployment and compatibility of interfaces on crop plants, represents a significant trend in the development of the next generation of multifunctional crop sensors.

Studies using KNHANES 2008–2014 data reported a significant trend toward lower serum 25(OH)D levels and a significant increase in the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in all age groups [ 91 , 92 ].

Regarding the KHEI total score, those in the lowest quintile (Q1) had significantly higher odds of prediabetes compared to Q5 in Model 1 (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.06–1.93; P < 0.05), with a significant trend across quintiles ( P for trend = 0.003).

Following the adjustment for potential non‐dietary and dietary confounding factors, a significant trend of inverse exposure–response association was observed between maternal mushroom intake during pregnancy and risk of childhood peer problems (the adjusted OR between extreme quartiles was 0.58; 95% CI: 0.31–1.07, p for trend = 0.02; Table 2 ).

For example, when time series were 6 to 9 years, we found a significant trend in abundance for time series in 0.24 cases (21 of 89), but this proportion increased to 0.62 (41 of 66) when time series were >21 years.

When male and female patients were combined after subdivision into ASMI tertiles within sex to avoid sex differences in ASMI, there was a significant trend for lower log 3‐Me‐His in higher tertile of ASMI ( Figure 5 F ).

Some studies have also indicated that the distribution patterns of most flora and fauna show a significant trend of migrating from low‐altitude areas to high‐altitude areas (Parmesan and Yohe 2003 ; Root et al. 2003 ; Thuiller 2003 ; Wilson et al. 2005 ).

One research study reported that asthma mortality showed a significant trend with an increase in travel time to hospital, and the relative risk was increased by 1.07 times for each additional 10 min [ 35 ].

LTPA showed a significant trend towards less activity in the MUO group, with the MHNW group reporting the most activity.

In addition, the T-HEI components scores showed a significant trend of increased consumption of nutrient-dense choices in food subgroups such as whole grain from total grain, dark-colored vegetable from total vegetable, as well as nuts and seeds from oils, in non-frail individuals.

In uCG data, the Z-score of T21 pregnancies increased with higher fetal fraction consequently widening the gap between healthy and T21 pregnancies (r = 0.95, p = 0.013 and r = 0.94, p = 0.015 for CG-fraction and CG-coverage, respectively; Pearson correlation), while the Z-scores of the healthy pregnancies did not show a significant trend.

When mortality was stratified by LoQRS and presence of myocardial injury, there was a significant trend towards increased mortality not only in those who exhibited LoQRS without myocardial injury but even more so in patients with both LoQRS and concomitant myocardial injury ( Figure 2 ).

In this study, we also analyzed the relationship between the extent of radiotherapy at the SVZ site and the pattern of progression and found that the local recurrence rate was lower in patients with an ipsilateral SVZ radiotherapy extent of V60Gy ≥ 50% than in patients with V60Gy < 50%, with a significant trend, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Less research has been undertaken to explore the wear performance of PEEK and CFR-PEEK as bearings in total joint replacement, however, recent pin on plate studies have indicated increasing wear with increasing contact pressure, though this has not been demonstrated to be a significant trend [17] , [31] .

Compared to the lowest quartile, the odds of reduced eGFR were 27% lower in Q3 (OR: 0.73; 95% CI: 0.60, 0.88) and 53% lower in the highest quartile (OR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.37, 0.60), with a significant trend across quartiles (P-trend < 0.001).

A significant trend of decreasing ORs for intermediate AMD associated with increasing Varied staple food diet scores was noted ( p for trend = 0.002).

Since 2002, when the RCSWA commenced, there has been an increase in the number of females, an increase in age at completion of the course and as indicated by the ASGC-RA for town of origin, an increase in those from rural backgrounds, and also a significant trend towards recruitment of students from more remote areas.

A significant trend is shown by 21.5% of the Greek sample versus <10% of the Italian and of the English respondents towards those categories of patients who are considered at higher risk for developing AIDS.

A significant trend was observed, with periodontitis strongly associated with increasing NPAR levels.

Lately, a significant trend in nanotechnology has been a synthesis of polysaccharide composites, which serve as sensors of harmful substances, heavy metals, microorganism growth, and environmental changes [ 10 , 11 , 12 ].

Incidence trends in men, mortality in men, and mortality in women were not statistically significant, while a significant trend was observed in incidence in women (annual percent change -1.5; 95% confidence interval -2.3 to -0.6).

Examining the CMI tertiles, a significant trend was observed across all models.
