There was an increasing trend of prevalence among the illiterate, with a prevalence of 72%, with a frequent complaint of vaginal discharge (51.9%) [ 17 ].

(2014) [ 28 ] where the mean value of UPCR was 3.48, 3.92, 2.61, and 2.98 among the patients with severe hypertension (p=0.001), eclampsia (p=0.002), raised liver enzymes (p=0.02), and need for ICU support (p=0.02) respectively, and these findings were highly significant.

(2018) [ 41 ] have reported that the mean birth weight of neonates showed a decreasing trend as proteinuria increased above 300 mg; the birth weight of 2521 ± 640 gm in neonates born to women with proteinuria in the range of 300-1000 mg/day was significantly higher than 2230 ± 732 in those born to women with proteinuria >3000 mg/day.

According to WHO, an increasing trend in the aging population is expected during the next decade; hence the prevalence of hip fractures will continue to grow globally [ 1 ].

The mean scores depict a decreasing trend for the combined as well as the individual cohorts with the highest mean score at Day 0 and the lowest at Day 60.

in their comparison of patients aged >90 to <90 showed a trend of higher mortality in the older groups albeit not statistically significant [ 16 ].

P-values were classified as non-significant if they were greater than 0.05, significant if they were less than 0.05, and highly significant if they were greater than 0.01 (Table 1 ).

The risk for AP and MI also follows a positive trend with increasing quartiles of ABSI.

However, the confidence interval ranged from 0.55 to 1.04 (i.e., precise and near statistical significance), and the prognosis tended to be good overall in the early strategy group.

A survey of the trends in the management of GPIs in Indian critical care settings highlighted an increasing trend in prevalence and associated mortality with GPIs [ 12 ].

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.

The mean hexagonality of cells also showed a decreasing trend with age.

A borderline significant difference was observed for the peak early diastolic septal mitral annular velocity (e’S) between the patients with SF LVH and SCFP ( 7.0±1.3 cm/s vs 8.3±2.1 cm/s, p=0.057).

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.

Serial troponins were collected on a daily basis, which showed a decreasing trend with a troponin level of 1,271 ng/L recorded on the day of discharge.

P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant and highly significant if < 0.001.

The decrease in SOD levels was found to be statistically significant between healthy controls and malignant bone tumors with a p-value =0.000413, and between benign bone tumors and malignant bone tumors with a p-value =0.0407 which was quite significant.

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 ).

For the overdose deaths regression, the highly significant variables included racial categorizations, the population density, the percentage in poverty, and the percentage with a college degree.

Due to the rarity of EF, there may be significant delays in establishing a proper diagnosis and initiating appropriate treatment, and patients often end up seeing multiple different specialists [ 2 - 7 ].

The same study demonstrated an increasing trend in cardiovascular risk in patients with CML treated with TKIs, mostly during the first year of treatment.

Although there was a positive trend when using the checklist, no statistically significant difference was found between the two study groups in terms of voicing a backup plan.
