“borderline significance”

Interestingly, this observation did not apply for the 10-year hip fracture probability (we found a borderline significance of p -value between A1 and B1 of 0.064).

In the entire cohort, pre-GKRS neurological deficit and prior RT were identified as significant factors in the univariate analysis, whereas tumor location and prior CT showed borderline significance.

The beneficial effect of LABF was detected on all of the individual components with borderline significance for the incidence of graft thrombosis (due to limited power) ( Table 3 ).

As a result of stimulation, the number of daily bowel movements and discomfort significantly improved, whereas the IBS-specific symptom scores dropped, with borderline significance ( 53 ).

A borderline significance was observed in lymph node metastasis for PFS.

This borderline significance could be attributed to the limited sample size of the external validation cohort, which may reduce the statistical power of the DeLong test.

Conclusions Longitudinal analysis of middle-aged hospital attendees without or with type-2 diabetes for overall mortality and a composite endpoint of death, non-fatal cardiac, or non-cardiac disease risk documented in combined gender that “reduced” SUA assays contributed significantly to non-fatal outcomes (RR around 1.5), and at borderline significance to the composite endpoint, additively to conventional cardiovascular risk factors.

[ 82 ], which suggested 1p32, 2p24-25, and 12q21 as candidate regions; all of them, however, reached only borderline significance.

Importantly, the GWAS data identify the same HLA signals, as well as one association peak at chromosome 3q13 with borderline significance.

Finally, although multiple testing was addressed using the FDR correction, the possibility of residual type I error remains, especially for outcomes with borderline significance.

The results from prospective cohort studies mostly showed suggestive inverse associations indicating borderline significance.

I do not think that a p-value of 0.01 indicates “borderline significance”.

All girl’s variables were positively related to AFGV during puberty (mother’s AFGV had a borderline significance), but time to menarche to DXA was the variable that explained the most variability of AFGV (39%) according to R 2 ; on the other hand the BMI z-score explained only 2% of the variability.

Borderline significance of this study means that the treatment effect is more likely to lie around the point estimate from the trial, rather than at the ends of the CI ( 30 ).

Waist circumferences, waist-hip ratios, and (with borderline significance for the early preterm group) percentages of body fat were higher in both early and late preterm groups than in the controls; lean body masses were similar (Table 3 ).

Higher V 40Gy ( p = 0.047, OR = 1.06 {95% CI 1.00–1.12}), and younger age (mean age 56.6 vs 59.7, p = 0.060, OR = 0.96 {95% CI 0.92–1.00}) were associated with elevated risk of LS, with borderline significance.

In multivariate analyses (Table 3 ), the minor alleles of IRF4 (rs12203592), PARP1 (rs3219090), CDK6 (rs2079147) and PLA2G6 (rs738322) were significantly associated with either increased (rs12203592) or decreased (rs3219090, rs2079147, rs738322) naevus count in at least one of the multivariate methods considered, and two SNPs, in PARP1 and in APEX1 , displayed borderline significance.

However, only R219K distribution bared borderline significance between the two groups studied (Table 2 ).

While the authors attributed it to the continuously rapid developmental speed of fast-cleaving embryos, this hypothesis, as they acknowledged, requires more researches for validation due to the borderline significance.

However, the test for interaction between TIMP-1 status and treatment did only reach borderline significance.

Serum ACE measures and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers In the total population, higher serum ACE protein level was associated with higher CSF Aβ (borderline significance), but not with CSF tau or ptau levels (Table 2 ).

Children who were born to mothers with joint GDM and HDP had ~1-fold higher multivariable-adjusted risk of overweight compared with children who were born to mothers with GDM only, but this association changed to borderline significance after additional adjustment for maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain.

Dunn’s post hoc analysis indicated significant pairwise differences for all comparisons, except for those between the better-seeing and worse-seeing eyes in the AMD Group for BCEA 1 sd to 3 sd, which showed borderline significance. 3.2.

A p-value of 0.10 was reported to suggest borderline significance and a final p-value of 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance.

Findings showed that there was a significant negative correlation between the presence of US detectable pathology and peak pressure values in the right foot lateral segment at follow up (PCC = -0.412, p = 0.046), but this only demonstrates borderline significance at the 5% level, and care should be taken when inferring from this level of evidence.
