HOMA-IR showed an increasing trend with borderline significance in the ER/PR-negative group ( P for trend = 0.087 in model 1 and 0.114 in model 2) and a decreasing trend in the ER/PR-positive group ( P for trend = 0.081 in model 1 and 0.072 in model 2).

The sentences
HOMA-IR values showed a positive trend with borderline significance in the ER/PR-negative group ( P- value for trend = 0.078), whereas insulin levels did not ( P- value for trend = 0.450).
Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) showed a positive trend for recurrence in the ER/PR-negative group ( P for trend = 0.087) and a negative trend in the ER/PR-positive group ( P for trend = 0.081).
Unexpectedly, an inverse, marginally significant association between insulin resistance and cancer recurrence was observed in the ER/PR-positive group; this trend was also observed in the analyses of serum insulin levels.
