Among the countries of the European Union, in Italy, from 2013 onwards, vaccination coverage has been showing a decreasing trend.

This data is indexed to the yield recorded in the year 2005 and shows an increasing trend despite the pesticide bans that have taken place.

Measure of associations The proportion of circumstances due to suicide was higher in cases with unknown agents compared to cases with known agents and the difference was marginally significant (82.2% versus 65.1%; PRR unknown/known = 1.6; 95% CI = 0.9–2.9).

The data further showed an increasing trend in the number of inpatients admitted for vulval dysplasia over time, with an 11% increase seen from 2009/10 to 2014/15.

A decreasing trend in VPA from baseline to follow-up 1 was observed in the intervention group in contrast to the control group (− 0.45 VPA min/hour [99% CI -1.02: 0.11]).

The significant post-implementation time interaction term indicates a negative trend in odds of recording ASK which counteracted the positive pre-implementation time trend before the NRS implementation.

In children with very high (20+) scores on the total difficulty scale ( n = 24; 12 boys, 12 girls) at baseline, highly significant reductions in all sub-scores as well as the total difficulty score could be found after the programme.

Highly significant differences exist in the slopes between 0.1 and 0.9 quantiles.

The possible explanation is that the air pollution level in Shanghai of 2013–2015 showed a trend of rising, but it has been persistently declining in Lanzhou since 2013 [ 36 ].

In the decade after the outbreak of SARS in China, TB incidence showed an increasing trend by age, especially noticeable among men [ 15 ].

Among women, night work was found to be a protective factor for suicide ideation, and noise exposure that was associated with suicide ideation before adjustment for covariates, was borderline significant after this adjustment.

Examining the interaction between roof type and the vaccine delivered little of interest, although there was potentially an increase in efficacy in the first 18 months among those with metal roofs (versus grass); the comparison was borderline significant.

Vegetation cover did not alter the efficacy of the fourth dose in a statistically or practically significant manner.

Although this study shows that healthy lifestyles are clearly significant predictors of mental health, and there are some differences in healthy lifestyles according to family affluence, we did not find any significant differences in symptoms of mental health problems (feelings of depression, anxiety and stress) between adolescents from low-medium family affluence and adolescents from high family affluence.

A decreasing trend with age was observed for the prevalence of current smoking in both rural and urban males, and for heavy drinking in urban males from 55 to 65 years, and in rural males from 60 to 70 years.

An increasing trend with age was observed in the prevalence of physical inactivity across all participants.

So there might be significant ones published and then there’d be the question of we would then potentially look at our policy and how we might want to develop our policy based on those.” (DPH04) Engagement with research outside decision-making PHPs frequently engaged with systematic reviews and other research outside decision-making processes.

There is an increasing trend to visit private health facilities in Nepal for the pursuit of better health care, particularly patients from average to high socio-economic status [ 10 , 22 ].

A significance level of 0.05 was used as the criterion to determine statistical significance and 0.10 to determine marginal significance.

Furthermore, compared to white MSM, black MSM have worse outcomes at each stage along the HIV care continuum, a notable trend in cities across the country [ 2 , 3 ].

In consistent with α i , the estimated changes (orange line) indicate that the started at the highest level for women aged 20–24 years old, followed by a progressive decline to the lowest level by age group 50–54, ended with a slightly increasing trend.

In addition, in favor of the stunted group, a constant and marginally significant difference was observed between the two groups in head circumference during the whole study period.

A significant trend has been the rise in weapon-related crime, with 285 homicides committed involving a knife or sharp instrument in year ending March 2018 - an increase of 70 offences compared to the previous year [ 1 ].

Since smoothing the data revealed a decreasing trend, four of the time-series models (Linear, Quadratic, Exponential and Autoregressive forecasting) were tested to find out which model best explained the trend.

As noted in the last column, this difference is highly significant.
