In the literature

Even though none of the resulting classifiers demonstrated significant predictive capacity, some showed a trend towards significance and most performed better than a baseline classifier trained using clinical factors which were previously indicated as important for prediction of motor outcome ( Anderson and Doyle, 2006 , Kersbergen et al., 2016 ).
A trend towards significance in values of IgG (group 1 was lower than other groups at days 15 and 30) and bilirubin (higher values at day 7 in groups 1 and 2 than control, higher amounts at days 15 and 30 in groups 3 and 2 than control, respectively) was also observed.
These results are particularly surprising since the difference in the plasma S-Klotho levels of the middle-aged and young men and women only showed a trend towards significance; this might have a physiological (e.g., the better health status of young individuals) or methodological explanation (e.g., the blood samples of the FIT-AGEING and ACTIBATE projects were analysed at different times of the year).
Lastly, there was a trend towards significance between income and changes in weakness with those not coping showing lower odds of improvement, although this did not reach statistical significance (OR = 0.44, 95% CI 0.18–1.10, p = 0.079).
