“a strong trend”

There was, however, a strong trend toward a higher mortality rate after CABG surgery in COVID I compared to pre-COVID (adjusted OR 2.61 [95% CI 0.98, 6.93]).

We again saw a strong trend toward an increase in lac expression with 40 of 46 clones having a mean reporter expression level greater than the ancestor.

In particular, blind subjects were faster in recognizing orthonasally presented odours and they showed a strong trend for better performance on the orthonasal free identification test.

60 The trial was terminated early because of a strong trend toward decreased survival among patients treated with epoprostenol.

16 studies—indeed, around 2 D or more for high myopes (≤−6 D)—a strong trend in the opposite direction was apparent in the data of Takeuchi et al. 18 One possible but unconfirmed explanation for this difference is race.

In later years, there has been a strong trend towards open reduction and internal fixation with volar locked plating in the management of unstable, dorsally displaced, fractures of the distal radius.

The corneal nerve and tear function recovery peaked before 30 months, while the OSDI continued to show a strong trend of improvement beyond 30 months.

SNPs with a strong trend were excluded from the analysis, but some further SNPs with trends were detected and removed later, when theta values were mapped as quantitative traits.

Despite a strong trend to increasing function with more inhibitors, treatment with a selection of combinations of ion channel inhibitors had no significant effect on behavioural responses at this acute phase following injury, when compared to vehicle treated animals (p > 0.05), in contrast to our reported preservation of visual function with the three inhibitors in combination at 3 months after injury [ 49 ].

In stimulated mice, there was a strong trend for more dampened homecage activity rhythms to correlate with fewer percentages of open arm entries ( Figure 2G ).

The decline was probably the result of a chain of missed opportunities for the reform and adaptation of the relevant system to changes in the context, which notably saw a strong trend towards greater convergence of various industries, technologies and products. 13 This convergence further increased the need for the consideration of non-trade concerns and greater policy coherence.

34 Since all experimental rearrangements were optimised to give full conversion of VCP after 17 hours, a strong trend was apparent between the corrected Δ G ‡ values for VCPR with reaction temperatures using either M05-2X/6-31+G* ( Fig. 8 ) or B3LYP/6-31G* methods (see ESI † ).

A strong trend that has been noted throughout literature regarding satisfaction scores and patient R/E is that Asian patients provide lower patient satisfaction ratings than non-Hispanic white (NHW) patients [ 16 , 27 ] and other R/E groups [ 7 , 13 , 28 – 34 ].

In contrast, the Assortment condition showed a strong trend albeit temporally less stable effects, and Feedback and Control participants maintained lower overall health scores.

Nevertheless, there is a strong trend toward expanded donation criteria or, as it is commonly stated, using borderline donors.

In addition, (3) there was a strong trend for better outcome in patients who obtained a CCT scan early.

Preoperative anemia (OR = 1.99, P = 0.002), disseminated cancer (OR = 2.16, P = 0.014), steroid use for chronic disorder (OR = 2.20, P = 0.002) and blood transfusion (OR = 19.69, P < 0.001) showed a strong trend toward predicting unplanned readmission.

Although these findings suggest that repeated exposure generates greater changes in plant palatability to snails, a strong trend of reduced palatability was also found for plants that only received a single early exposure to mucus ( Figure 2 ), suggesting that early cue exposure may also be important.

Autocorrelation at-lag-1 increased almost linearly up to the transition with a strong trend as estimated by Kendall’s τ (rank correlation) both for the original (τ = 0.911) and the residual (after detrending) datasets (τ = 0.944) ( Fig. 2E ).

We also observed that the levels of pTau T181 exhibited a strong trend toward reduction after Cdk5i-FT peptide treatment ( Fig. 2 M and N ).

However, the TDP-43 motor neurons did exhibit a strong trend toward increased insoluble TDP-43 compared to control (Figure 3C ).

In response to the limitations of classical WGR, a strong trend has emerged in recent years toward using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (low-coverage WGS).

However, immature moDCs bound significantly more to TNF‐α‐treated LECs and there was a strong trend for increased binding to silenced LECs under these conditions (Fig. 3D ).

The effects of GSK263 on total GIP were variable and not significant, but there was a strong trend for sitagliptin to reduce GIP levels ( Figure 3A and 3B and Tables 6 and 7 ).

Lethality Although the statistic elaboration of mortality data (ANOVA) did not show significant dose dependence, nevertheless a strong trend was seen for the effects exerted by the exposure to the different Ag concentrations.
