However, these three risk factors should be at least considered as constituting a strong trend of risk factors for COM/ROM.

[38] also observeed that SOC stocks in 0–10 cm layer had an increasing trend along a choronosequence of poplar plantations in the Columbia Plateau, Oregon, USA.

For the months of highest abundance, further splits again indicate an increasing trend in C. leucas abundance between 2004 and 2012.

Although there is no statistical significance in the incidence of ARF between the two groups, the high DNI group, which was the independent predictor of 30-day mortality in our study, still showed a trend toward a higher incidence of ARF compared with the low DNI group (42.1% vs. 21.4%).

The final result also indicated that pond shape and pond perimeter were the major reasons that an increasing trend in the number of ponds from 1926 to 1960 was observed.

Trends of Farm-Pond Losses By comparing Figures 4 and 5A , we discovered that, despite the inconspicuous changes in farm ponds that occurred from 1904 to 1926, there was a decreasing trend in the number of farm ponds.

This meta-analysis revealed that the PvuII T allele is a highly significant risk factor for hip fracture susceptibility, with an effect magnitude similar in male and pre-menopausal and post-menopausal female patients.

For the additive model, a borderline significant publication bias was observed ( P for Egger's test = 0.04).

The proportion of BMVC-positive cells significantly correlated with the percentage of cell apoptosis in a negative trend ( Figure 5d ).

As these may be significant factors when selecting suitable individuals for future treatment.

Higher level of women's education increased the odds of modern temporary method choices but the education effect on traditional method choices was only marginally significant.

Of note, if a small number of relatively weak constraints are used, it will be easy to match these constraints with limited error, but there may be significant error in the distribution of other microdata fields.

The data show a small trend in the direction of the group differences seen in Parbery-Clark et al.

Since many chemotherapeutic drugs are known to induce their cytotoxicity by increasing ROS levels, the results of this study are also highly significant in understanding the mechanism for adaptation to ROS-induced toxicity leading to acquired chemotherapeutic resistance in breast cancer cells.

Given that the mediation was approaching significance, this may suggest that with age come improvements in working memory capacity, which in turn lead to improvements in rule-based categorization performance.

It was found that although maximum temperature and minimum temperature both increased, the minimum temperature increased at a significantly faster pace in Group B than in Group A, resulting in a negative trend for the diurnal temperature range (DTR).

The estimate of the slope of the trend is calculated as: (6) A positive value of B means an increasing trend whereas a negative value means a decreasing trend.

Our comparison of MSMW and MSWE may constitute a highly conservative (though still robust and highly significant) effect size: the majority of studies that included MSWE in our review and meta-analysis did so using very high-risk samples, such as street-based illicit substance users and their sexual partners or STI clinic attendees [37] , [41] , [54] , [58] , [60] .

Moreover, the MAGIC trial [23] reported that the perioperative-chemotherapy group was accompanied with significantly smaller tumor maximum diameter, a greater proportion of stage T1 and T2 tumors, and a significant trend to less advanced nodal disease (N0/1) compared to the surgery group.

HapScore test with MNWS score resulted in a marginally significant model ( p global = 0.054).

We examined SNPs within nominally significant pathways using linear mixed models to estimate their contribution to overall BMI heritability.

In contrast, there was a significant trend in MMSE score and CRP level; the MMSE score was highest in the bottom-third and lowest in the top-third.

A single sample t-test, t (22) = 1.77, p = 0.09, d = .037 revealed a marginally significant Error Bias, ( M = 0.05, SD = 0.14).

Highly significant odds ratios (ORs) were observed between MDD and full time employment (OR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.25–0.46, logP = 78), social status (OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.77–0.87, logP = 13.3) and education attainment (OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.86–0.90, logP = 6.8).

The CGTT insertion polymorphism in the APOC1 promoter region, leads to a highly significant, 1.5-fold increase in expression [31] .
