Questionnaires of Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the therapeutic effects and relevant factors affecting the efficacy of therapy. Results The results showed a decreasing trend in THI and VAS scores after 3 months of therapy, with statistically significant differences between pre- and post-therapy time points ( P < 0.001).

However, the consumption of refined grains in higher quartiles showed a decreasing trend ( p < 0.001).

In addition, a decreasing trend in age from northern to southern Italy was observed ( p = 0.001).

Kaplan–meier analysis of MAP and 28-day and 90-day mortality Kaplan–Meier analysis illustrated that compared with Quartile 1, the 28-day mortality in Quartiles 2, 3, and 4 showed a decreasing trend, and the difference between groups was significant (log-rank test = 36.82, p < 0.001, as displayed in the left panel of Figure 2 ).

Total bilirubin, aspartate transaminase, and alanine transaminase in both groups showed a decreasing trend with time (time effect: F = 30.270, 17.340, and 13.380, respectively; all P < 0.001).

Each of the study outcomes had a decreasing trend across the study period (ordinary least square P -value <.001).

TCD showed a decreasing trend with the increasing N:P ratio (Fig. 1 c), which had a significant difference among the treatments ( p = 0.001, Table 1 ), while the RCD of C. filispica showed a positive correlation and increased ( r = 0.363, Table 1 ).

Subjects in Group B also exhibited a decreasing trend in OS (HR: 2.56, 95% CI 1.44–4.56, p = 0.001), and their AUC value was 0.801 (Fig. 4 G, H).

People living with HIV/AIDS with a history of surgery or blood donation showed a decreasing trend (Trend χ 2 = 42.881, P < 0.001).

There was a decreasing trend in antibody titers with increasing CCI scores (trend P < 0.001).

Results There was a decreasing trend in rates of mechanical (trend: −0.05% per year; P < 0.001), inflammatory or infectious (−0.48%; P < 0.001), and other (−0.19%; P < 0.001) complications from 2005 to 2018.

The percentage of participants with BLLs above the current reference value showed a decreasing trend with the increasing poverty-to-income ratio ( p -value < 0.001), while no association was found across educational levels.

Thereafter, a decreasing trend ( p < 0.001) was noted until the end of the experiment.

This was primarily due to a decreasing trend among virtual behavioral health visits (−0.29 points per week, p < 0.001); virtual visits among medical specialties, primary care, and surgical specialties had stable trend lines over the study period.

coli isolates resistant to most of the antibiotic categories remained stable between 2015 and 2019, though a decreasing trend in the proportion of E. coli isolates resistant to fluoroquinolones (37.8–32.0%, p < 0.001) and aminoglycosides (15.6–11.9%, p = 0.002) was observed over time (Fig. 3 ).

Similarly, in the MCDB cohort, patients’ prognoses showed a decreasing trend by the new pN classification (all P < 0.001, Fig. 4 C).

Overall, 500 students (48.4%) were at risk of clinical depression with a decreasing trend over academic years (59.3% in Year 1 to 35.5% in Year 6, p<0.001, see eTable 1 in the online supplemental material ).

A decreasing trend in the rate of malocclusion with age was observed, from 78.2% at age 3 to 63.2% at age 5 ( p = 0.001, Table 1 ).

Conversely, predominantly cystic tumours are strongly correlated with SPCs, with a decreasing trend of occurrence as the tumour becomes more solid ( Figure 7 ) ( p < 0.001).

Considering the significance of the effect of time, pain intensity in the participants showed a decreasing trend in general up to 24 hours after the surgery (P < 0.001).
