“of borderline significance”

After these, the next highest ranked gene was BRAF ; although it was of borderline significance (FDR = 0.0508), it is a very strong candidate for a resistance gene because 4/6 of the mutations are at the canonical p.V600 locus.

However, the survival difference was only of borderline significance in time-to-event analysis.

Conclusions It can be concluded that even a short-term administration of lipid emulsions containing higher n-3:n-6 PUFA ratio results in increased plasmatic level of n-3 PUFAs in triacylglycerols of borderline significance, significantly increase in EPA levels in plasma fosfolipids, and significantly increase in DHA plasma levels in triacylglycerols.

Conclusions Given the observed cost decrease of borderline significance, and according to the 95% confidence ellipses, the intervention strategy has a potential to lead to cost savings as a result of a reduction in the use of chest imaging and of the number of undetected VTE averted.

Although dozens of clinical trials have been performed, the results of most have been inconclusive or of borderline significance.

The results, however, are of borderline significance.

However, this correlation is of borderline significance in septic patients ( Table 5 ).

Thus, interpretation should be approached with caution, particularly when findings are of borderline significance.

Type of pinch effect Movement duration A significant [pinch*group] interaction was found on movement duration [ F (4,64) = 3.1, p = 0.02]: no pinch effect was observed in healthy controls and DS patients, whereas it was of borderline significance in ARX patients.

Resting energy expenditure, total physical activity, and moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity were marginally higher in the group assigned to the low carbohydrate diet (group differences or linear trends of borderline significance), with contrasting within group changes in some cases; whereas sedentary time and skeletal muscle work efficiency did not differ by diet ( table 3 ).

Aspirin usage reduced the risk of cSCC by 12%, which was of borderline significance 5 .

There was also no strong evidence for variation in the vitamin D allele score–BMI association by average BMI of the study (≤25 kg/m 2 versus ≥25 kg/m 2 ), although for the synthesis score the meta-regression coefficient was of borderline significance ( p meta-regression = 0.053, Figure S8 ; p meta-regression = 0.78 for metabolism score).

0.2 ng/l, p = 0.05 for both) of borderline significance.

The natural history of these children remains ill-defined; even so, the trial data suggest that secondary penicillin prophylaxis in them would prevent the progression of RHD.[ 10 ] An NNT of only 13 patients over 2 years appears a very attractive proposition to avert a potentially lethal RHD.[ 10 ] That too, when none of the patients in the control group developed rheumatic fever! The purpose of this communication is to suggest that this conclusion does not reflect the realism but results from the mere statistical treatment of images of borderline significance, or by chance.

showed that in children <15 years old, EBV positivity was associated with longer survival, but this was only of borderline significance [ 46 ].

After mutually adjusting for suPAR and EuroSCORE II or STS score, suPAR remained associated with postoperative mortality and postoperative complications, although for the model containing suPAR and the STS score, the association of suPAR with postoperative mortality was of borderline significance.

The pooled effect estimate was similar for cohort and case–control study design (0.67 and 0.60 respectively), although it was of borderline significance for case–control study design.

Although of borderline significance, children whose mothers were HIV positive had a higher risk of stunting compared with those whose mothers were HIV negative, 1.23 (1.00–1.52).

Although there was a trend of increasing risk of a positive score with age, it was only of borderline significance among women aged over 75 years.

Variables found to be significant or of borderline significance were integrated into the logistic regression analysis if the relationship exceeded a 10% threshold.

The OR for LDL cholesterol >100 mg/dl as well as ≥70 mg/dl were of borderline significance in men with premature and very premature CAD ( Table 3 ).

In the German cohort, the cardiac excess detected was of borderline significance when German national death rates were used as the reference population but not when state rates, most notably, those of North Rhine-Westphalia were used as the reference population ( 16 ).

They observed inverse associations of borderline significance between leisure-time physical activity and risk of stroke, with a 17% stroke risk reduction being observed for the most active women in comparison to the least active women in the study.

Repeating the analyses for differences between fatigued and non-fatigued survivors after omitting possible outliers by the interquartile range rule, did however not alter the conclusion; levels of Trp, alpha-ketoglutarate and the PAr Index remained significantly associated with CF and Kyn/Trp ratios were of borderline significance only.

In men, apart from high HDL-C levels, low physical activity, and non-HDL-C levels of borderline significance, all variables were related to CHD mortality.
