For adults, some of the runs suggested some stability in NWR scores across the two halves, with a significant correlation in 14% of the runs, and a marginally significant (alpha.1) correlation in 21% of the runs.

Therefore, the increased permeability of the choroid may be significant both before and after initiation of hemodialysis in the DM group from the effects of diabetic choroidopathy.

The long-term SST monthly climatology showed that August and February are the warmest and coolest months, with a significant trend of 0.5°C and 0.3°C decade -1 , respectively [ 11 ].

Thus, while a simple regression (not shown) of the E-Ship Index on the start-up rate (number of start-ups divided by total number of establishments in ZIP code) produces a highly significant estimate of 1.7%, this only explains 3% of the variation in the dependent variable.

Although the data is considerably more noisy than for the contest environment, a definite trend can be observed towards higher punishment of group-mates whose contribution deviates negatively from the group average, as compared to the contest environment.

After removal of this study, we found a significant trend across the remaining 20 studies.

In the subgroup of severely ill patients 3–71% had invasive ventilation and there was a strong trend for increasing use with increased severity ( Table 6 , Source of heterogeneity).

The probability of treatment increased with severity of illness and among hospitalized patients there was an increasing trend, from 23–100% ( Table 6 , Source of heterogeneity), with 90% (95% CI 80–97) of severely ill patients receiving antibiotics.

They show abundant fluctuation in silcrete use and blade proportions, but consistent and nearly significant increases in the frequency of backed pieces towards the top of their sequences [see also 83 ].

Our model parameter pointing to the media coverage of the technology’s risks, ( c_risk ), especially in its negative impression, was highly significant, with one of the highest marginal effects on public unacceptability of any we modeled.

Abstract Introduction The incidents of violence against doctors, leading to grievous injury and even death, seem to be on an increasing trend in recent years.

By varying epsilon and tau, and applying the method to the one-second time series data of the US dollar-Japanese yen exchange rate between 2015 and 2018, the authors examined a group of 28 highly significant downtrends and found that 17 of them can be attributed to known events.

In contrast, the credit rating of Taiwan showed a positive trend until 2015 but has since decreased, which can be attributed to the economic slowdown during those years.

We added a sentence in the discussion that our findings in the trends in etiology of HCC among liver transplant recipients are consistent with the recent study by Wong and Singal who reported an increasing trend in liver transplant waitlist registrants with HCC associated with NASH and ALD and the decreasing trend associated with HCV.

Statistical significance of mean NP diameters, Mn 2+ controlled release, and MRI T 1 values between groups were evaluated using the 2-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test with Bonferroni correction to account for multiple comparisons, where *p < 0.05 was defined as significant and **p < 0.01 was defined as highly significant.

Notably, a significant trend for higher viral loads among subjects infected with B PANDEMIC relative to B CAR strains was recently described in French Guiana [ 11 ] which may have played a role in the differential transmissibility of the two viral strains.

For young drivers, distracted driving behavior was significantly negatively correlated with scores of MD (r = -0.469, p < 0.001) and EFI (r = -0.305, p < 0.05), and a marginally significant correlation was found between distracted driving behavior and the IC score.

How serious was the memory lapse (1 = insignificant, 2 = minor, 3 = somewhat significant, 4 = significant, 5 = very significant/potentially dangerous); 7.

In terms of crystal quality, the ethane and propane treated crystal showed a trend to slightly lower average mosaic spread than LN2 treated specimens ( Table 2 ).

Was drug treatment time-dependent or not? If the model stratified by drug treatment then how is the hazards ratio for drug treatment calculated (I note the log rank test was highly significant)?

However, they were not significantly associated with mental health and wellbeing scores since lockdown, although higher CCA scores were approaching significance with lower mental health scores since lockdown (see Table 3 ).

However, these significant interactions became borderline significant or insignificant after FDR adjustment.

While there was a numerical trend in favour of younger age, primary shockable rhythm and presence of bystander CPR, the trend for time-to-ECMO and admission pH were in the opposite direction; however, the low number of survivors hampered the statistical validity of our analysis.

A strength of this study is its use of advanced statistical methods when several variables with borderline significance were found using classic regression analysis.

While we assumed that the marginal cost of inheriting an existing system by a government would be minimal on a per VMMC client basis, there may be significant periodic costs of upgrades and system maintenance.
