and there was also a highly significant correlation between the age groups and frontal sinusitis.

In the multivariable analysis, significant mental health predictors of high homelessness risk scores were substance use disorder (Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR): 1.97, 95% CI: 1.57–2.47), intentional self-harm (aOR: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.23–2.02), anxiety (aOR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.14–1.92), and borderline significance for psychotic disorders (aOR: 1.35, 95% CI: 0.99–1.83) ( Table 4 ).

Finally, in the analysis of P for interaction between renal function and BPV parameters for the occurrence of END, SBP CoV (1.17 [0.98–1.41], P = 0.085) and DBP SD (1.12 [0.99–1.26], P = 0.079) approached the borderline of significance ( S3 Table ).

The elderly population of Nepal is 8.1% in 2011 and is in an increasing trend with the growth rate of the ageing population around 3.5% [ 11 , 12 ].

In sensitivity analysis 3 that employed the propensity score approach and further matched distance between HCC diagnosis and initiation of the two compared drugs, SGLT2 inhibitor use was not statistically significant and long duration of SGLT2 inhibitor use was only borderline significant ( Table 3 ).

Bai (2022) applied ultra-relaxation-based measurement data envelopment analysis to measure the technical efficiency of 1219 rural Chinese hospitals in 28 provinces in China, and the study found that the hospitals performed less efficiently in terms of technology, but showed an increasing trend.

In addition, the variance level of TFP values of urban economic development in China’s YREB from 2004 to 2019 showed an overall trend of first decreasing and then increasing.

Discussion In the last few decades, a decreasing trend in the burden of cervical cancer was documented in the developed world.

Along with the end of the lockdown and the increasing frequency of the Delta variant, an increasing trend of the epidemic activity was observed in all Portuguese regions affecting mainly young adults and adolescents [ 7 ].

The parallel change in bat populations and occupied trees with perceived constant group sizes may have yielded relatively similar contact rates over time and is consistent with the absence of an evident trend between roost size and CoV detection.

A similar gender gap has persisted for the STEMM workforce (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) recording a preponderance of males in these disciplines at a global level with a significant trend for male domination in senior employment and concomitant bibliometric record [ 29 , 30 ].

Of the 270 cities, 51, including Xi’an City (the capital of Shanxi Province) and Wuhan City (the capital of Hubei Province), showed a trend of growth in MCI from 2000 to 2017.

In this study, an increasing trend of mortality was observed in those aged > 45 years, with the risk increasing by 1.15% per year.

The differences between the deep zone and the calcified plate are not significant, but a highly significant reduction is observed in D-period between the calcified plate and the trabecular bone.

The data will be considered as demonstrating highly significant level of heterogeneity if the P value is greater than 0.01 [ 37 ].

The model fit was worse for seasonal change for smoking only patients; however, a highly significant periodic trend was still observed.

This difference was marginally significant (p 0.059).

There were only four athletes with easygoing lifestyles in this study, but that number might be significant compared to a larger population.

In some studies that compared VVD optimization by QuickOpt and ECHO, optimized aortic velocity-time integrals (VTI) instead of corresponding VVDs were analysed and highly significant correlations were misleadingly considered proof of the agreement between both methods [ 9 , 17 ].

Areas under HotSpots demonstrated a positive trend over both the 11-year (0.02 km 2 *yr -1 ± 0.02) and 24-year (0.09 km 2 *yr -1 ± 0.03) period ( Fig 5 ).

ColdSpots showed a decreasing trend (−0.03 km 2 *yr -1 ± 0.03) over the 11-year period and an increasing trend (0.05 km 2 *yr -1 ± 0.03) over the 24-year period ( Fig 5 ).

During this period study area, and AverageSpots demonstrated a positive population trend (0.04 ± 0.06 pheasant*km -1 *year -1 and 0.9 ± 0.75 pheasant*km -1 *year -1 , respectively; Fig 3 ) while HotSpots and ColdSpots exhibited a negative trend (−0.06 ± 0.11 pheasant*km -1 *year -1 and −0.79 ± 0.02 pheasant*km -1 *year -1 , respectively; Fig 3 ).

On the other hand, there is an increasing trend of falling physical exercise among adolescents.

Urban life years were categorised into tertiles and a significant trend for higher levels of risk factors, except tobacco and hypertension, from rural non-migrants to migrants was seen for the unadjusted OR.

Our findings of a decreasing trend in the prevalence of underweight and an increasing trend of overweight/obesity are well aligned with studies using previous rounds of BDHS data [ 8 , 13 – 17 , 46 , 47 ].
