Excerpts

Lonner and co-workers noted that polyaxial constructs were associated with better maintenance of thoracic kyphosis compared with monoaxial or hybrid constructs, which showed a trend toward kyphosis loss; this observation highlights that the effect of screw type may be parameter-specific (i.e., affecting rotation or sagittal contours more than coronal Cobb correction) [ 9 ].

Age showed a trend toward increased risk but did not reach statistical significance.

There was an increasing trend in the number of cases over time.

A numerical trend toward higher complications, particularly major bleeding (11.4% vs. 3.4%), was observed in the half-dose group, although not statistically significant.

Our results demonstrate a clear trend of increasing aesthetic improvement over time, as evidenced by the GAIS assessments at various postoperative intervals.

After all, despite its usefulness, closed reduction is linked with quite significant limitations.

Although not statistically significant, the ESRD subgroup showed a numerical trend toward higher LDL-C in TT carriers, which is directionally consistent with the overall analysis.

This difference was statistically highly significant (Table 2 ).

This finding is consistent with the study by Arun-Kumar and Naresh-Babu, who reported that local infiltration of TXA showed a trend toward reduced intraoperative blood loss but with comparable effectiveness to intravenous TXA in spine surgeries [ 8 ].

Although the duration of social media use showed a positive trend, it was not a significant predictor of loneliness.

By 12 months, 46.7% achieved normal scores, 33.3% nearly normal, and no patients remained severely abnormal, reflecting a clear trend of functional recovery.

Repeated-measures ANOVA yielded a value of 695.59 with a p-value <0.0001, indicating that the changes in Lysholm scores across the follow-up periods were highly significant and reflected consistent functional improvement in knee performance over time.

Globally, an increasing trend of community-acquired infections caused by hospital-associated resistant UPEC clones has been observed, with studies suggesting that 10-30% of community isolates may now harbor resistance traits traditionally associated with hospital strains, emphasizing the need for effective infection control measures and antimicrobial stewardship programs [ 87 ].

Second, among participants with complete three-timepoint data at baseline, six months, and 12 months (n = 14), SF-BBS scores showed a positive trend over time.

Considering that the association between ISR and LS BMD gains was attenuated to marginal significance in the multivariate model, whether ISR serves as an independent predictor of treatment response remains unclear.

In the multivariate analysis adjusting for age, these associations were attenuated but remained marginally statistically significant.

This near-significant association warrants prospective investigation to clarify directionality.

The manuscript has been revised to clarify that this finding represents an observed trend within the QIP context and should not be interpreted as definitive evidence of reduced infection incidence As the project primarily assessed reported awareness and practices rather than directly observed behaviors, the findings may not fully reflect actual day-to-day clinical practice.

These indicators remained strong, with a positive trend seen in cycle 2 of the QIP.

For instance, a single‐center study found only a nonsignificant trend toward higher readmission rates among obese PPCM patients, likely due to insufficient statistical power [ 11 , 16 ].

The attitude score showed a positive trend toward better practice, but this association was not statistically significant (p = 0.063).

The SSM demonstrated a decreasing trend with age, reaching statistical significance in selected comparisons.

Variables including numeric radiosurgery dose (HR = 1.35; 95% CI 0.99-1.87; p = 0.061) and loss of coordination at clinical presentation (HR = 2.74; 95% CI 0.94-8.02; p = 0.065) showed a trend towards association but did not reach statistical significance.

The p-values observed in our data, such as 1.00 for grade and 1.00 for stage, suggest a possible trend that may become meaningful in a larger cohort study, as Zhang et al.'s study [ 16 ], which showed that TAM density in distinct tumor compartments correlates with patient outcomes.

A decreasing trend was observed in the frequency of exacerbations in both groups.
