Excerpts

Since a decreasing trend in TC, LDL, and HDL is seen periodically after MI, lipid-lowering therapy must be initiated even if the results are within the physiological range in the first few days [ 18 ].

In epidemiological studies, about 10% to 16% of AMI patients have been noted to develop AF during the hospitalization and an increasing trend was observed in its prevalence over the years [ 20 ].

As rocuronium has a rapid onset and its effect is rapidly recovered with sugammadex, there has been an increasing trend in recent years toward its use as an appropriate alternative to succinylcholine, which is the most important indication suggesting that rocuronium is a good alternative to succinylcholine [ 17 - 19 ].

Similarly, our sub-group analysis of the primary outcome on the basis of time to administration of hydrocortisone from randomization suggested a strong trend towards reduced mortality in the late administration group as compared to the early administration group (within eight hours vs. within 24 to 72 hours).

The appropriate and careful selection of cases remains the most important factor, considering the risks associated with surgical intervention may be significant in comparison to the benefits of surgery.

Of note, however, in 2004, female last authors had garnered a higher number of citations as compared to men, which again supports a positive trend in citations of female authors.

The faces scale, a subset of the BRWP, showed a trend toward benefit but did not reach statistical significance (p=0.085).

There was a nonsignificant trend towards improved survival for patients younger than 60, with Karnofsky performance status of 70+ and a controlled primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [ 4 ].

An increasing trend in the number of primary PCI was observed over time.

Differences were considered to be significant when the P value was >0.05 and highly significant when the P value was >0.01.

An increasing trend of sarcopenia was observed in older patients; almost half of the patients older than 85 were sarcopenic (48%).

Interestingly, in two scenarios where patients met the inclusion criteria, the paramedics’ performance showed a negative trend after the education delivery.

Mortality in Q4 showed an increasing trend compared with that in other quartiles, but there was no statistical significance.

Conclusion The study results depicted an increasing trend in the vancomycin MICs among the MRSA isolates.

There was a clear trend towards a perception of lower risk with the increase in training levels as shown in Figure 2 .

While going through various clinical trials done by different researches in various setting it was observed that the impact of exercise on slowing AD progression is quite significant.

Other factors that showed a trend toward increasing the odds of following up included the ED physician being a clinic physician and having a recent clinic visit prior to the ED encounter; however, neither of these reached statistical significance.

Interestingly, patients that underwent SCS had a strong trend towards amputation-free salvage of the affected limbs compared to those that were treated with conservative treatment, with many patients having clinical improvement in the ischemic ulcers and improvement from ischemic rest pain to mild claudication [ 25 , 27 - 29 ].

These are considerably significant when compared with other modalities of therapies.

Although no significant association was found when comparing the clinicians' experience and dental local anesthesia failure, we found a highly significant difference in the opinions of the public and the clinicians when the median category was taken into consideration.

Results Mean tubular penetration depth between diode laser (136.57 ± 48 μm), EDTA (130.56 ± 53 μm) and citric acid (113.37 ± 34 μm; P < 0.05) showed statistically highly significant results.

Although not previously reported, it may be possible that even minimal enzyme inactivity may be significant when combined with his other risk factors for the development of hyperhomocysteinemia.

A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered to show a significant difference, while a p-value of less than 0.01 was considered highly significant.

There is an increasing trend for doctors who have been forced to practice defensive medicine [ 10 ].

Pulmonary function testing may be significant for a decrease in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) [ 4 ].
