Excerpts

The subset analysis from the trial showed a trend towards benefit of tamsulosin for lower ureteric stone >5mm in size.

Also, pregnant women had a highly significant effect on developing GERD that could be physiological.

Mean hospital LOS also showed a decreasing trend with increasing BMI, though it did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.19).

Even so, given that the highly significant difference in the blood loss and transfusion observed was highly significant, the possibility of nullifying the effect of TXA on reducing the blood loss and transfusion by the biases mentioned earlier is remote.

As the recurrence rate decreased after Lichtenstein's tension-free hernioplasty, surgeons’ point of focus shifted more toward postoperative groin pain (inguinodynia) after inguinal hernia repair, as it has become a quite significant problem.

The reduction in the rate of CDI was highly significant in this study and was likely a result of strict infection control measures [ 10 ].

The test for heterogeneity I 2 in this study was highly significant with a Q(6) of 12.37 and p of 0.0543; hence, the random-effect model was selected due to the heterogeneity of the data.

Figure 3 shows that recipients with biochemical evidence of recurrence had an overall trend toward worse combined graft loss and death probability than those without any sign of recurrence of LN.

Recurrence of lupus nephritis showed a trend for increased risk of graft loss or patient death (Hazard Ratio: 3.14, 95%Confidence Interval: 0.65-15.24) compared to the recipient without recurrence in our unadjusted proportional Cox regression model.

CRP and ferritin had significant levels of 0.044, 0.44, and 0.003 and 0.000, 0.001, 0.000, 0.001, and 0.205 in grades I and II, respectively, which implies that the correlation of inflammatory markers such as CRP and ferritin is highly significant at all stages.

Throughout the patient's stay in the hospital, CRP showed a decreasing trend.

Hemoglobin and platelets follow a decreasing trend in relation to the increasing severity of CKD, and statistically significant differences were found across the categories of severity (p-value<0.05).

Due to the high probability of obtaining significant p-values in analyses with large samples, percentage differences of 3% or greater were considered practically significant.

The prevalence of lung colonization in patients with CF nowadays ranges from approximately 10% to 18%, suggesting an increasing trend, in comparison to earlier reports [ 1 , 8 - 10 ].

Mean age had a positive trend on the pooled standardized mean difference, suggesting that the effectiveness of the PPIs on depression seems to decrease with age.

Conclusion For single fraction treatment, GTV size is highly significant in predicting failure to meet normal tissue goals whereas whether setup margin was used was not a significant predictor.

Interestingly, AST was found to have a statistically significant relationship with mortality on bivariate analysis and also approached significance in the multivariate regression model.

SCW also showed a highly significant positive correlation with SCD, PPH, PD, and TDA.

Discussion When comparing the men to women composition in academic OB/GYN, there is a clear trend showing that although OB/GYN is a women-dominant discipline overall, men predominate in higher academic positions.

Suggestive significance for P-value 0.05<P<0.10, moderately significant for P-value 0.01<P £ 0.05, and strongly significant for P-value P£0.01.

There is an increasing trend of Caesarean delivery and premature birth in comparison to the pre-pandemic era.

After that, the difference in heart rate was highly significant between A versus B and A versus C.

The use of marijuana has doubled since 2002 as demonstrated in a study on an in-patient population with an increasing trend toward use in the older and sick population [ 2 ].

A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant and a p-value between 0.05 and 0.10 was deemed to be borderline significant level on all statistical analyses.

However, there is an increasing trend towards early discharge/enhanced recovery protocol (ERP) after surgery [ 13 , 21 ].
