Excerpts

The incidence of hospital-acquired AKI (HA-AKI) ranges between 5 and 15% or 30–45 cases/1000 hospital admissions/year but shows an increasing trend as hospitalized patients are older and subjected to more interventional diagnostic and treatment techniques, and exposed to the effects of nephrotoxic drugs [ 3 , 4 , 5 ].

It met the statistical significance level in UC patients (adults and children) and CD children, while it was borderline significant in CD adults.

First, sFlt-1 has a marginal trend for higher values for smaller birth weights, but this is confined to babies delivered before 32 weeks’ gestation and does not improve the performance of screening by maternal factors.

Focal Increase of Spinal Cord Motion within All Groups of Patients Compared to controls, patients with stenosis at C2/C3 and C3/C4 showed a trend toward higher spinal cord dynamics at stenosis and at the adjacent segments, but comparison did not reach significance ( p > 0.5) ( Figure 3 , complete data sets in Table S1 ).

Pain reduction after TSR was highly significant in all patients.

However, the results diverged regarding the Twist1 mRNA, because a slight although significant increase was observed in our PTC samples, while a slightly significant reduction was evident in those from the TGCA.

Nevertheless, there was a numerical trend toward 40% lower HF hospitalization in the rhythm control arm.

An abnormal creatinine level was identified as a highly significant risk predictor for mortality, and the prediction AUCs for in-hospital mortality at 5 and 8 years were 0.770 and 0.756, respectively.

The mean annual incidence rate of disease was 1.1 (range 0.9–1.5) per 1,000,000 people and exhibited an increasing trend over time, but this was not statistically significant ( Figure 1 B).

PB-gMDSCs-N ≥ 24.4% showed a trend for worse OS compared with that of PB-gMDSCs-N < 24.4%, but it was not significant ( p = 0.144) ( Figure 5 c).

The AKD group showed a trend of higher risks of respiratory failure and ischemic stroke but without statistical significance.

This study showed a trend of decreasing rSO 2 in the normocapnia group, whereas a trend of increasing rSO 2 in the hypercapnia group.

However, OR showed an increasing trend as eGFR decreased.

Additionally, a recently published analysis of this study group stratified by the modified version of the Charlson Comorbidity Index (mCCI) shows a similar trend towards a worse outcome of patients with high mCCI under medical rhythm control, which just failed to reach statistical significance due to being underpowered [ 24 ].

A slightly significant increase in mean and median sK values was observed during the 1-year follow-up period after the introduction of the first RAAS blocker, although the values were still normal (less than 5.5 mmol/L) in all but one patient.

At the follow-up, a moderate but highly significant correlation was found between the ICIQ-UI SF score improvement and the reduction in pad usage.

We therefore conclude that there is an evident trend towards poorer sleep quality among individuals with higher PSQ-3-FI scores. 4.6.

In the entire cohort and target therapy subgroup, Kaplan–Meier curves showed a marginal trend in predicting disease progression among patients with MTVlfn, TLGlfn, MTVsoft + lfn, TLG soft + lfn, MTVwb and TLGwb lower or higher than the median values ( Figure 3 for the entire cohort and Figure 4 for the target therapy cohort). 4.

In Table 2 , we reported the results of cardiac and inflammatory markers in the four groups: we did not find any significant differences (including in routine blood biochemistry, data not shown) except for IL-6, which shows a significant trend for increasing levels from group A to D ( p for trend <0.05, by Jonckheere–Terpstra test, Table 2 ).

At present, we are witnessing an increasing trend of PNB use over neuraxial blocks especially in orthopedics and the focus of training has shifted accordingly [ 24 , 25 , 26 ].

It may be significant that advanced UBC in men had higher androgen response activity across all luminal subtypes, compared to advanced UBC in women [ 85 ].

This sex-linked association was highly significant, as it was found in 6 out of 783 X chromosome genes but in zero of 18,055 genes from autosome chromosomes or pseudoautosomal X chromosome regions [ 204 ].

Their study of the inner retina showed a trend of retinal thickness reduction in the central 1 mm area in patients with SDD compared to controls [ 32 ].

The mortality was 16.1% for males and 17.2% for females with an increasing trend for age classes (from 4.9% in 19–49 up to 31.6% in 85+).

This suggests a multifactorial origin of cataracts, although the radiation dose has a highly significant effect when other variables are equal.
