The reported incidence of POCD is roughly 50% shortly after surgery, with a decreasing trend during the following months (Knipp et al., 2008 ; Newman et al., 2001 ; Toeg, Nathan, Rubens, Wozny, & Boodhwani, 2013 ), but methodological differences, such as choice of outcome measures and variable definitions of decline, affect its recognition and reported incidence (Bhamidipati et al., 2017 ).

1 a and b). Changes in HDL-C, LDL-C, LDL-χ and VLDL-χ from fasting to after the unified meal in the MetS and non-MetS groups HDL-C was lower in the MetS group at fasting and exhibited a decreasing trend after the meal at 2 h and 4 h (Fig. 1 c), whereas the postprandial decrease in HDL-C was not present in the non-MetS group.

In the current study, we also found that there was a decreasing trend in white matter atrophy, although the differences were not two SDs greater than those of the controls, which may provide insight for further speculation.

There was increasing trend seen in calls from new patients (19.02%; week 1 to 27.02%; week 4) and a decreasing trend seen in calls from lower socio-economic strata patients (18.50%; week 1 to 14.47%; week 4).

The finding from this review is consistent with the WHO's report on the status of dracunculiasis eradication and global distribution for 1980–2019, which shows that several countries had achieved elimination during the past decade, including Kenya, Uganda and Sudan while some countries including Ethiopia were still reporting cases until 2017 although at a decreasing trend ( WHO, 2019 ).
