“a decreasing trend”

Our results regarding depression in 85-year-olds are in line with previously mentioned studies on older adults in general from Europe (Beller et al., 2021 ) and the United States (Sullivan et al., 2020 ; Zivin et al., 2013 ), all of which found a decreasing trend.

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).

The case fatality risk showed a decreasing trend in all groups, and models were favored accounting for an abrupt causal effect, i.e., immediate decline in fatality risk.

Except that, the trend were similar, which showed a decreasing trend after reaching the peak risk.

Conclusion In the proportion of IBIs over a 24-year period between 1996 and 2019, we observed a decreasing trend for S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae and an increasing trend for S. aureus , S. agalactiae , and S. pyogenes in children > 3 months of age.

The results showed that the values of a w , pH, L*, a* and b* in the four groups exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing fermentation time.

The pH values of the four groups showed a decreasing trend ( Fig. 3 F).

The GDEA, on the other hand, first demonstrates a decreasing trend followed by an increasing trend during the sample period, reaching its lowest point during 2016.

The incidence of major trauma was highest in teenagers and did not show a decreasing trend during the study years.

We observed a decreasing trend in reproductive capacity over time from 2009 to 2016, possibly due to extended time in captivity or hatching of new animals into captive settings with no residual knowledge of natural stimuli.

The expression of il-1β in fish fed diets with 3.0, 4.8, 5.9 and 6.8 g/kg Trp showed a decreasing trend compared with the control group, but there was no significant difference except for dietary 6.8 g/kg Trp ( P > 0.05).

Further microbial phenotype analyses showed a decreasing trend in anaerobic bacteria, and an increasing trend in mobile elements and facultatively anaerobic bacteria ( Figure 3d–f ), indicating that disruption of epithelial hypoxia and accumulation of harmful bacteria were linked to gut dysbiosis and inflammatory reactions that increased intestinal permeability 31 for intestinal bacterial translocation during carcinogenesis.

Both chlorophyll a and b showed a decreasing trend after GEO treatment at the same concentration, i.e., the total chlorophyll content in barnyard grass decreased with increase in time.

The combination of an initially slower rate of vaccination and a decreasing trend in transmission, with some states having a significant proportion of the population no longer susceptible to infection, narrowed the overall averted burden in the first months of 2021.

58% of HBV datasets presented with a decreasing trend over the time series evaluated.

Over time, we also reported a decreasing trend of plant available soil P of the three P sources with the remaining trend of highest available P in the inorganic P source ([see Supporting information—Fig.

7 , we can observe that the r-squared value shows an increasing trend when the bandwidth h changes from 0.04 to 0.15, and a decreasing trend when the bandwidth h changes from 0.16 to 1.

It was shown that patients with serologic responses, that is, a decreasing trend of serum CEA antigen, were more likely to present a statistically significant NLR fold- change (Thistlethwaite et al. 2017 ).

Alternatively, São Mateus demonstrated an increasing trend in the frequency of extreme occurrences and events of both T max and T min ; Iguape showed an increasing trend in the frequency of extreme occurrences and events to T max ; and Rio Grande showed not only an increasing trend on the frequency to both occurrences and events of T max but also a decreasing trend in the intensity of T min (i.e., extremes of T min are getting warmer through time).

After 3 h of reaction time, untreated Zn-5 catalyst gave the highest conversion yield, whereas Zn-5 thermally treated at 105, 120, and 140 °C showed a decreasing trend in catalytic activity with the increase in treatment temperature due to the formation of ZnO.

The Shannon–Weaver coefficient showed a decreasing trend at 2-, 4-, and 12-weeks post operation compared to that before operation.

Southern WG as a museum and a cradle of diversity Evolutionary diversity measures show a decreasing trend of diversity from lower to higher latitudes for woody plants in the WG.

Thereafter, the NRE and NAR showed a decreasing trend as the ambient temperature decreased.

A decreasing trend for NOAF incidence with higher cumulative dexmedetomidine doses was observed (eFigure 2 in Supplement 1 ).

Time Trends in Prognosis Within 1 Year After Incident AF Diagnosis Except for the cumulative incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding, which remined generally consistent ( Table 3 ), the 1-year cumulative incidences of the investigated clinical events all showed a decreasing trend from 2014 to 2018, including ischemic stroke (from 1.63% [95% CI, 1.52%-1.73%] to 1.39% [95% CI, 1.30%-1.48%]), major bleeding (from 2.50% [95% CI, 2.37%-2.63%] to 2.07% [95% CI, 1.96%-2.19%]), ICH (from 0.60% [95% CI, 0.54%-0.67%] to 0.40% [95% CI, 0.36%-0.46%]), and all-cause mortality (from 19.13% [95% CI, 18.80%-19.45%] to 17.67% [95% CI, 17.37%-17.97%]) ( Table 3 ).
