“borderline significant”

For CVD mortality, however, a borderline significant inverse association was observed (RR = 0.77 (0.60–1.01) per 1-SD, model 3) but the relationship was attenuated after excluding subjects with a history of CVD or hypertension (RR = 0.83 (0.47–1.44) per 1-SD, model 3).

The association of HER-2/neu Ile655Val polymorphism and risk of breast cancer in a Sudanese population were examined and found to be borderline significant.

In a French study [ 13 ], a “healthy” cluster characterised by high fish intake in males and high fruits and vegetables intake in females showed a borderline significant association with fewer depressive symptoms in elderly females (beta = −0.16; 95% CI, -0.33 to 0.007).

The current results extend these findings by showing an association between recent stressful life events and hippocampal volume (again on the right, although borderline significant on the left as well) in a sample of healthy young men and women.

However, associations between CHD and MFI were different in the sex‐stratified analyses; they were not significant for males and were significant, or borderline significant, for females depending on correction factors.

73 About 20 years later, a study showed a borderline significant decrease in ADP‐induced platelet aggregation for ASD cases with normal but not increased platelet 5‐HT levels. 74 Recently, detailed platelet function studies were performed for a larger cohort of 159 idiopathic ASD cases and their first‐degree relatives. 59 Though the maximal platelet aggregation response to epinephrine was not lower for ASD cases, its secondary wave response, which is dependent on dense granule secretion, was more frequently delayed or absent in ASD cases compared to controls.

There was no indication of excess risk when analysing ever/never exposure status, and there were no clear dose–response patterns, although the top category of duration to diesel exhaust emissions did manifest a borderline significant OR of 1.3 (95% CI: 1.0-1.8).

Similarly, omega-6 FA increases the KYN/TRP ratio after 6 weeks of supplementation, but after 12 weeks the increase is borderline significant.

[ 28 ] Finally, we found that the use of an IABP had a borderline significant predictive effect on 30-day bleeding events.

The difference was borderline significant for distal radius total BMD shown as Z-score (index controlled for sex and age) and significant for diaphyseal radius cortical BMD.

[ 15 ] reported a borderline significant HR of 1.90 (1.00, 3.50), while Tsuboi et al.

Self-Reported Results According to the self-reported measures ( Table 1 ), rTMS led to significant reduction in Lack of Premeditation and Lack of Perseverance in the UPPS-P impulsivity scale, improvement in emotion regulation (DERS), reduction of depressive symptoms (MADRS), and borderline significant reduction of anxiety symptoms (SAS).

When considering ‘any pneumonia’, we found a borderline significant reduced OR associated with early NAI use in all patients [adjusted OR 0·83 (95% CI 0·70–0·98)], with further borderline significant risk reductions also noted among laboratory‐confirmed cases; these findings lost a statistical significance when further stratified by patient subgroups but the point estimates remained consistent (Table 2 ).

This determinant significantly increased at the short-term and borderline significant at long-term.

MutSig2CV analysis revealed recurrent somatic mutations in FAM72D (n = 3, in 2 wiFTCs and in a single HCC), TP53 (n = 3, in 2 wiFTCs and a single HCC), and EIF1AX (n = 3), with DGCR8 (n = 2) as borderline significant.

In this group, we also registered a statistically significant decrease in OPA and an increase in OPP which was borderline significant.

In another study, high VEGF expression was also found to be associated with poor survival, whereas HIF-1α was borderline significant ( 50 ).

Being overweight, obese, or a former, or current smoker was associated with an increase in the number of comorbidities; while healthy diet, physical activity (borderline significant) and moderate alcohol consumption were associated with decreased number of comorbidities.

Indeed, the overlap of the seven associations detected after 3 months with associations after 12 months was limited: Only one SNP, rs7691507, was also significant (p<0.05) after 12 months, while two other SNPs were borderline significant (rs3025035 and rs2305945, with P-values of respectively, 0.057 and 0.053) and four SNPs were not significant.

An increase in stroke volume and a borderline significant increase in Cardiac Index 120 min after weaning together with the improvement in longitudinal, circumferential and radial peak systolic STE strain demonstrates a better-preserved systolic LV function caused by venting during ECMO.

A borderline significant interaction was observed for smoking (p for interaction = 0.060), with ORs of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.55–0.67) in non-smokers and 0.52 (95% CI: 0.46–0.59) in smokers.

This borderline significant finding, although not confirmed by the multivariate analysis, might be cautiously explained by a possible mediating role of job support in the relationship between stress and health outcomes [ 44 , 45 ], when it acts in combination with other influencing factors, either organizational or personal.

The RII moved towards unity throughout the study period, being significantly lower than unity (or borderline significant) during the three first periods, and did not significantly differ from unity during the last period (1990–1996).

However, in the adjusted analysis it only borderline significant and may just have occurred due to chance, as can happen particularly when many variables are examined. 7.

However, the difference in individual protein levels between the two groups was greater than a fold change of +/- 2 and statistically significant for ten proteins only, and seven other proteins were found to be borderline significant ( Table 1 ).
