Excerpts

Although it is considered a rare disease, the incidence has shown an increasing trend in recent decades, probably due to improved diagnostic criteria and a rise in the population’s life expectancy [ 3 ].

In the last few decades, there has been an increasing trend to use intra-articular injections of corticosteroids, analgesics/anti-inflammatory drugs, polymerized collagen, anti-cytokine drugs, or hyaluronic acid as alternative modalities to maximize the local effect while minimizing systemic side effects [ 13 ].

This has given impetus to an increasing trend of replacement of standard cigarette smoking to e-cigarettes, especially among the younger population.

ASA with PD-L1 inhibitor showed a trend towards a higher likelihood of achieving CR [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.85] with a p-value close to statistical significance (0.06).

Over the last decade, there was a positive trend with a marginally greater number of minorities appointed at academic ranks, specifically Asians.

As observed in other studies, we also observed a negative trend in the number of patients diagnosed with IBS undergoing colonoscopies inpatient as well as the average length of stay, which may demonstrate increased proficiency in understanding IBS and the risk of observation in this patient population, however, our trends demonstrated a continued increase in hospital costs [ 21 ].

A study within a university-based family medicine practice showed a trend toward better blood pressure control in the highest continuity tertile compared to the lowest; however, this trend did not reach statistical significance (-0.2 mmHg, p = 0.2) [ 20 ].

Preoperative chronic anemia was associated with postoperative complications at a borderline significant level (Table 7 ).

He was discontinued on flutamide, preparing for cabazitaxel administration; however, his PSA levels decreased (Figure 2 ), and CT scan showed a trend toward shrinkage of the pelvic lymph nodes (Figure 3 ).

[ 12 ], and a highly significant difference was observed between the groups with elevated serum levels in the CKD group, which were similar to the findings reported by Pandye et al.

Studies have also shown that there may be significant gray matter volume loss in the right orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in patients with post-infectious olfactory disfunction and that there may be a significant negative correlation between the volume of gray matter in the right OFC as well as olfactory bulb volume with the duration of olfactory loss in these post-infectious olfactory loss patients versus normal controls.

This has also led to an increasing trend of finding incidental gallbladder malignancies for a presumed benign disease.

An increasing trend was observed concerning the mortality rate, increasing the Waterlow score (Table 4 ).

At this point, the trend in the data appeared to support our hypothesis, as there appeared to be a positive trend with procalcitonin levels and severity.

However, employment status was trending towards significance.

With the advancements in image-guided techniques such as bedside ultrasonography for central line placements, thoracentesis, paracentesis, and procedures by interventional radiology, there has been an increasing trend toward a restrictive approach for platelet and plasma transfusions in preparation for invasive bedside procedures [ 24 ].

The relationship between central obesity and knee OA was only marginally significant.

However, the mean difference of 1.62 hours is practically significant and suggests a longer duration of the antipyretic effect of mefenamic acid.

The co-relation (p = 0.001) between serum ferritin and gingival pigmentation was also found to be highly significant (Table 2 ).

The monthly average IPD admission was low compared to the pre-COVID-19 period but showed an increasing trend after the first wave (January 2021- March 2021).

A meta-analysis of six outcome studies shows CRA’s effect size for SUD to be large (ES=-0.58) and highly significant [ 26 , 27 ].

There was a nonsignificant trend for a decrease in in-hospital mortality over time, from 58% in 2004 to 45% in 2010.

Elevated D-dimer and IL-6 levels may be significant predictors of mortality in patients of ILD infected with COVID-19.

The case presented has shown highly significant levels of PSA, as clearly stated in the laboratory data, and this progress has been complemented by the utility of immunostaining in the detection of metastatic prostate cancer [ 8 ].
