In the older age groups (50–94 years), mortality rates exhibited a slightly increasing trend initially, followed by a decreasing trend.

As shown in Figure 2 , luteolin-7- O -glucoside exhibited a slightly increasing trend during the ripening stage of the olive, with a low content of 0.024 mg/kg at the green stage, a medium content of 0.028 mg/kg at the green/ripe stage, and a content of 0.027 mg/kg at late maturity stage.

Both genes were similar although Bmp7 showed a slightly increasing trend which was insignificant ( Figures S3 K and S3L).

In addition, we observed a slightly increasing trend in the incidence of AFR, AFVR, ABD, and FD over the years since 2009; this may coincide with the duration of the implementation of the SSS and is likely associated with the increased distribution of data reporting and feedback at all levels during the last nine consecutive years.

VAP rates from January 2019 to December 2020 showed a slightly increasing trend with the highest VAP rates reported in November 2020 as 1.9 per 1000 ventilator days and lowest 0.8 per 1000 ventilator days in July 2020 [ Figure 3 ].
