4) Were there any right censored individuals within 30 days? 5) Correlation does show strong relation with mortality in Fig 6D, but the authors write " does not display a strong association with mortality" 6) What is the biological reason to include MI in the model? Why would MI relate to mortality? 7) If two variables have a clear trend in individuals over time, it may be better first to remove that trend.

TIM3 levels were significantly lower in Vδ2 + cells only compared with αβ CD8 + T cells; nevertheless, Vδ2 + cells showed a clear trend of lower expression in comparison with Vδ2 − and αβ CD4 + T cells for this marker.

As the viral dynamics and partitioning in wastewater are rather uncertain, the parallel detection of RNA in solid and liquid fractions would be ideal for sewage SARS-CoV-2 monitoring until a clear trend can be observed.

The crystallization rate shows a clear trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase in the Si/Al ratio.

The rescaled values are plotted in Figure 2 b, demonstrating that not only do the observed surface coverages change relative to each other, but there is no longer a clear trend between viscosity and surface coverage.

In fact, fetal scalp pH during normal labor decreases 0.016 pH unit per hour in the 1st stage and 0.11–0.12 pH unit per hour in the 2STG, showing a clear trend towards higher bases depletion from the 1st to the 2STG [ 6 ].

The APE1 gene did not exhibit a clear trend of expression in tumour tissue with respect to cancer stage.

However, a clear trend of early growth onset, concomitant with a fast stress response (high expression of the dps gene), can be seen from Additional file 2 : Fig.

The yearly IR did not follow a clear trend between 2011 and 2020.

A further increase in OD 610 = 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0, did not result in a clear trend, in the absolute mass of palladium per cell nor in the D50 NP size.

With regard to education, a clear trend was observed: while middle education was associated with slightly more acceptance towards same sex sexual activities and abortion, acceptance was clearly and significantly higher among the highly educated compared to respondents with low education for all sexual behaviors.

For the loss moduli, the IS-containing HDPE films showed, in general, lower values although this did not follow a clear trend with increasing IS content, and HDPE.Cl.0500 presented a decrease of 24% in the value of HDPE.

In contrast, in the sample of between 1700 and 1900 observations (taken in the period between November 2020 and June 2021), we see a clear trend of precipitous falls and sharp rises.

We derived changes in the electric field inside the sphere from time-averaged dipole moment changes and found a logarithmic dependence between ε r and the harmonic restraint. We also found ε r remained unchanged at different bias voltages, but high uncertainty at lower voltages meant we could not identify a clear trend.
