This mass budget approach has recently been reevaluated over January 2004–December 2015 7 and leads to a positive trend of 2.13 ± 0.14 mm · yr −1 (see 7 ).

Collectively, a clear trend was observed and indicated that CA-AKI is more prevalent than HA-AKI and has a much lower mortality rate 22 .

Among the subgroups by eGFR trends, subjects with a decreased eGFR trend had a significantly higher risk of AF in those with the highest eGFR variability (Q4), whereas those with maintained eGFR or increased eGFR trends showed a trend for increased risk of AF in those with the highest eGFR variability (Q4).

For the subgroups of age strata, an increasing trend for developing AF risk was observed in older subjects (adjusted HR 1.030, 95% CI 0.919–1.155 for 20–39 years; adjusted HR 1.078, 95% CI 1.032–1.126 for 40–64 years; and adjusted HR 1.168, 95% CI 1.082–1.260 for ≥65 years, where Q1–3 of each age stratum served as a reference, p-for-interaction = 0.0153).

On subgroup analyses, Q4 in males or those with a decreasing trend of eGFR had significantly increased risks of incident AF compared to Q1 (HR 1.127, 95% CI 1.082–1.175; and HR 1.115, 95% CI 1.059–1.173, respectively).

No significant between-group difference was apparent from after day 36 (Fig. 1 , Supplemental Fig. 3 ).

A negative trend (toward the rank of 1) indicates that the lake is getting relatively worse.

Interestingly, despite the significant effect of air temperature in the main developed GLM binomial model, randomization tests did not support this environmental signal as a predictor of Ephemeroptera occurrence in the fish diet (while probabilities obtained for other taxons were highly significant).

1a–c shows a clear trend between the lattice parameter a and the relative amount of Cs and K atoms.

In this study, we found the differences in beta diversity to be marginally significant between lower and higher IU groups.

4a showed that the CV of soil moisture content in all soil horizons has fluctuated remarkably yet showed an increasing trend along with decreasing soil water potential.

A small trend for improvement was observed for SBP at 3-months follow-up in the MBSR group.

As vascular calcification is linked to hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia 36 , 37 , the impact of these conditions on dp-ucMGP values is likely to be significant.

In the middle-upper Kunae Zone, start a positive trend from −29.5 to −28.0‰.

This VFA registered an increasing trend from Sc.

The mean male-to-female incidence ratio was estimated as 1.41 in the whole population, and the incidence and prevalence of CN6 palsy showed an increasing trend over time in the study period.

We note that many papers treating CO 2 degassing from volcanoes also include a non-quantified (but possibly significant) fraction of CO 2 from background-biogenic sources present.

An increasing trend in ΔH m was detected by DSC after the incorporation of PEG.

Our study showed a trend towards a decreased abundance of Bifidobacteria in cats with IBD and SCL.

In addition, the reduced vessel density in the inferonasal and superotemporal sectors of the HTG group showed borderline significance.

Due to the improvement of diagnostic methods and increased environmental pollution, there has been an increasing trend in the incidence rate and case fatality rate of skin malignant tumors in recent years.

The CVA revealed a highly significant difference in the sella shape between the Class I group and the Class II group (Table 2 , Fig. 7 ).

Comparison of NMR 13 and X-ray 14 structures of ShK reveals small but possibly significant structural differences 14 .

Additionally, during fruit growth and development, the sugar components showed an increasing trend.

There was an extremely significant positive correlation between total sugar, sugar components, and SPS activity, whereas titratable acid showed an extremely significant negative correlation with total sugar, sugar components, SPS and NI activities, and CitSPS2 gene expression.
