“an overall trend”

As SIRI values increased, there was an overall trend of rising risk for all-cause mortality.

As there is an overall trend among sarcomas of s was much shorter for the highly metastatic unclassi- increasing frequency of metastasis with increasing nm23 expres- vial group (297 days compared with 667 days), this sion and as high expression (score 4) of nm23 accompanies was negligible if only those tumours with staini

Despite an overall trend pointing toward a positive association between DSN and rates of graft failure, single-unit increments in DSN were associated with nearly negligible increases in hazard of 3-year graft failure, with differences in DSN on the scale of hundreds needed to see a meaningful increase in risk ( Figure 4 ).

Despite an overall trend for stronger prezygotic barriers, there was substantial variability in the strength of almost all individual isolating barriers (Fig. 2 ).

The non-significant correlation coefficients may suggest an overall trend of weak-to-medium correlations of observed aggression with trait questionnaires’ total scores, although still weaker than those found in the combined sample.

While complete PLT normalization may require more time, the observed increase in P-LCR and decrease in PDW unequivocally signal the bone marrow's release of fresh, functionally potent platelets and an overall trend toward platelet population homogeneity.

These dynamics may lead to an overall trend of increasing genome size over longer timescales; indeed, it has been shown that gene duplication is an important driver of genome size expansion in some nucleocytoviruses [ 82 ], and this may represent the long-term consequences of repeated accordion-like gene family amplifications.

As an overall trend, the likelihood of AIS increased with decreasing ITH score and lesion size.

Only three participants completed the intervention program, pre- and post-intervention assessments: two reported improvements in total MQOL scores, yet all three shared an overall trend towards worsening symptom and total fatigue scores post-intervention.

The results also showed an overall trend through the entire period of the study (Fig. 3b ), a yearly seasonality of causes of death (Fig. 3c ), and spotted outlier months associated with flu epidemics in 2002, 2005, and 2009 (Fig. 3d 1 , d 2 and d 3 , respectively).

A similar pattern of responses was observed when assessed as HBGA-blocking antibody titers, which has been suggested to be a correlate of protection against norovirus illness, 14 , 18 and there was an overall trend for HBGA responses to increase with higher vaccine doses.

Shi and colleagues [ 58 ] provided a better understanding of the deeper phylogenetic and evolutionary history responsible for the current diversity in vertebrate viruses at the order and family level, revealing that an overall trend of codivergence is coupled with a complex history of host switching between distantly related taxa.

While these studies have limitations, similar to those analysing direct costs, an overall trend towards increased indirect costs is apparent. 3.4.

That said, there is an overall trend of increase in oxygen consumption with increase in oxidation level and concentration, up to a point.

Nevertheless, there is an overall trend for bTB-infected individuals to have higher-degree (i.e., more contacts) and lower P i (i.e., more out-of-group contacts), as would be expected from these results (figure 4 ).

+ 0–2, 3+4 and 5+ has been detected with an overall trend towards lower delta Ct measures with increasing NAS ( Fig 2 ).

In essence, this analysis only indicates an overall trend based on maternal diet or sex; whereas the binomial analysis provides more definitive assessments to be made.

Nevertheless, the National Association for Quality Development in Hospitals (ANQ) that monitors the incidence of seclusion for all hospitals in Switzerland found no evidence for a general increase or decrease ( 25 ), making it unlikely that the changes are caused by an overall trend to a reduction in safety measures.

First, there was an overall trend towards moderate happiness during the 1970s and 1980s (rising from 49 per cent in 1972 to 58 per cent in 1991), while the share of Americans who reported that they were “not too happy” fell from 14 per cent in 1972 to its lowest level of under 8 per cent in 1990.

For instance, if a journal showed a significant increase in reviewer invites over the past decade, it could be hard to run a model looking for the effects of the pandemic (which is still essentially evaluating and comparing years) when we know there is an overall trend of time to begin with.

In response to treatment with aqueous extracts of increasing ratoon age, REL exhibited an overall trend of initially increasing before decreasing.

The results from the 10 study patients show only an overall trend of OAR EUD increment of approximately 1.8 ± 2.0 Gy.

Emission intensity is higher in the energy-rich upper reaches, while total emissions are more prominent in the economically developed lower reaches, showing an overall trend of fluctuation with a gradual deceleration 10 , 11 .In ER research, measurement is generally based on the “resistance-recovery-adaptability” theoretical framework.

When plotting all observed lesion counts against the percentage of patients showing both this lesion count and local volume decrease, an overall trend was observed ( Figure 4 ).

Experiment 2: Seedling Tolerance to Varying Drought Intensities Survival There were no statistically significant differences in survival rate between species and treatment groups after the first growing season, although an overall trend in the data shows a higher rate of survival of endophyte-inoculated seedlings at the end of that first second growing season.
