It fluctuated between 8.1 and 9.0 during this period, having two Joinpoints and showed an increasing trend in initial years until 2007 after which it declined for a few years before flattening from 2010 onward (AAPC: 0.0; 95%CI:-0.8 to 0.8) (Table 2 ; Fig S 1 in Supplementary Material).

The small negative effect on opioid substance occasions per week in Table S.A3 is marginally significant (β=-0.055, SE = 0.029), but it is not robust to Westfall-Young multiple-testing adjustments.

Whether this discrepancy indicates a decreasing trend in the accuracy of death certification of diabetes over the past decades in Western Australia warrants future investigation.

A study performed in Bavaria showed an increasing trend from 1982 to 1997 [ 6 ].

The time trend analysis demonstrates a significant trend among both sexes and all ages, particularly since about 2016.

Several studies have reported an increasing trend of AMR in both HICs and LMICs [ 5 , 10 , 18 – 21 ].

These results suggest fairly significant variation between birth cohorts in mean BMI.

The levels of both stunting and underweight follow an increasing trend with the children age-groups up to 24-35 months (35.9% for stunting and 26.4% for underweight) and then reduce, but the reduction rate is higher for stunting than that of underweight.

However, the mediating effect of VVA2 between SES and the parent–child relationship in the female (β = 0.08, p < 0.001) and male (β = 0.08, p < 0.01) models is equal, although female gender is highly significant.

Of course, it should be mentioned that the abovementioned studies from the USA and Denmark were conducted during the surge of COVID-19 in these countries and we witnessed a decreasing trend in the disease thereafter [ 1 ]; however, the SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was considerably still higher in our country than in those countries.

Conclusion The analysis of SARS-CoV-2 cases in sentinel LTCFs in South Africa points to an encouraging trend of decreasing numbers of outbreaks, cases and risk for mortality since the first wave.

This analysis has revealed a decreasing trend in the numbers of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks and cases in LTCFs over the course of the epidemic, with the highest risk of mortality occurring in the very early weeks of the epidemic.

When the analyses included held-back children, and was based on their expected schoolyear, there was a clear trend, in both countries, between relative age within schoolyear and treated ADHD.

So there may be significant causal paths between certain variables, but their correlation is not significant.

With the population of Ghana exhibiting an increasing trend [ 6 ], devising means of ensuring proper waste management, cannot be overemphasised.

This association remained significant for depression (OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.46–0.87), anxiety (OR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.48–0.84), and stress symptoms (OR=0.46, 95% CI: 0.29–0.74) even after adjustment for all potential confounders in the model; however, the linear trend for the association between this dietary pattern and odds of depression (p=0.057) and psychological distress symptoms ( p =0.081) became marginally significant in this model.

When p > 0.025, the angular coefficient is said to be statistically equal to 0, and the regression line tends to remain horizontal (no increase or a decreasing trend).

The third group ( n = 326) accounted for 19.82% of the sample, and it presented a low initial level and an increasing trend.

The proportion of each behavior by CAGE score showed an increasing trend.

In contrast, YLL contributed by Group III conditions showed an increasing trend between the 60–64 and 70–74 age-groups, but decreased from the 70–74 to the ≥ 80 age group (Fig. 1 ).

From 2007 to 2020, China’s national incidence of Class B notifiable infectious diseases shows a decreasing trend year by year (from 272.37/100,000 in 2007 to 190.35/100,000 in 2020), with the east dropping from 249.93/100,000 in 2007 to 165.45/100,000 in 2020, the central from 262.18/100,000 in 2007 to 191.63/100,000 in 2020 and the west from 360.07/100,000 in 2007 to 232.18/100,000 in 2020.
