“an observed trend”

Indeed, by age 90, one in four women compared to one in eight men will probably sustain a hip fracture [ 39 ], despite an observed trend break for New Zealand women [ 52 ] and Swedish women [ 53 ].

23 An observed trend toward a higher mean number of coronary anastomoses and 1-year rates of graft patency performed in the ONCAB group than in the OPCAB group was reported. 22 However a randomized trial concluded that OPCAB and ONCAB were associated with similar early and late graft patency, incidence of recurrent or residual myocardial ischemia, need for re-intervention, and long-term survival. 24 Although we observed a slightly fewer anastomoses in the off-pump group as well, it did not translate into a worse survival.

Although there was an observed trend, age 80 years or older did not significantly increase risk.

This method estimates the probability that observed differences were driven by the novel agent rather than random effects such as recruitment bias (e.g., random selection of PD‐1 responders) and also shows whether an observed trend occurs evenly across the participant population or only in a subset of the population.

Current short-term kidney allograft survival rates are favorable, and there is an observed trend of improvement in long-term outcomes [ 2 ].

Our study did not identify a significant association between its occurrence and overall survival, despite an observed trend toward a higher median OS I in patients with eosinophilia.

An observed trend was that at least 13 in the subsyndromal ICD group described that their change in behavior was consistent with an exaggeration of long-standing behaviors.

This is exacerbated by an observed trend of declining age of first pregnancies.

Although there is an observed trend of lower BMI in patients with osteoporosis than those with normal bone mineral density (18.3 vs 25.9 kg/m2), this difference did not reach statistical significance.

performed on eight spines showed no statistical differences in the range of motion between three and four integrated screws in a stand-alone ALIF cage, with an observed trend of greater motion with only three screws [ 10 ].

There was an observed trend of presence of mutation in association with increased LV maximum thickness (>30 mm), but this did not reach significance ( p = 0.08).

Moreover, an observed trend in the CBA playoffs indicates a preference for offensive gameplay over defensive strategies, with the importance of offensive metrics such as 2P%, 3P%, and eFG% increasing.

The presence of guttae extending into the periphery of the cornea may also reduce the likelihood of successful DSO, as there is an observed trend that a larger descemetorhexis is more likely to have prolonged corneal clearing or fail to clear without subsequent EK.

Although these differences between Wt and Xpc -/- mice are not significant, they are consistent since the majority of genes respond into the same direction, and represent an observed trend towards a more pronounced response to B[a]P in Xpc -/- mice.

When GPR was analyzed as a categorical variable, there was an observed trend of increasing odds ratio values from the first to the fourth quartile.

In the context of mild TBI, there’s an observed trend of over-reliance on this imaging technique, often leading to redundant scans even in patients with minimal neurological symptoms.

This is likely due to shorter handling times and thus higher functional responses, with an observed trend towards higher frequency of occurrence of naive invasive prey over native prey in the diet of native predators.

As for gender comparisons, the results showed that men are the users who get more distracted ( M = 4.91; SD = 1.86), compared to women ( M = 4.73; SD = 1.67), although the mean difference (ANOVA: F (1,1062) = 2.333; p = 0.127; Welch: F (1,944.907) = 2.447; p = 0.118) is not statistically significant at level p <0.05, and for that reason this data should be interpreted only as an observed trend.

Neuroplastic Markers Genetic Expression Anodal tDCS treatment in compulsive rats increased Bdnf , Ngf , and Scn2a mRNA expression levels in the FC, with an observed trend to increase in Arc and Egr1 expression levels, compared to untreated compulsive rats.

However, it is worth noting that there has been an observed trend of declining applieddoses of vaccines in Brazil over the past 2 decades [ 8 ], especially those immunobiologicals recommended during early childhood [ 27 , 28 ].

There was an observed trend towards higher survival in the more recent TAVR cohorts.

In the same study, there was an observed trend of lower levels of dietary restraint and disinhibition in later years of study than freshman year [ 17 ].

In Thailand, vaccination against dengue is approved, and dengue is holoendemic in the country, with an observed trend of large outbreaks occurring every 4 years.

There was an observed trend towards K trans recovery by 24-weeks, which preceded the median progression free survival by 8-weeks and therefore potentially an earlier marker of disease progression [ 25 ].

The critical aspect was to fit a regression function to an observed trend of increasing spectral radiance for any row of pixels, beginning from a nadir-view pixel, to off-nadir pixels in the same row in the direction of increasing glint.
