However, unlike the low-risk group, moderate-risk neonates without pre-ECMO repair had a decreasing trend in mortality ( p = 0.001; Figure 4 ), and no evidence of trend was found for the group with repair.

As expected, LPA‐derived growth rates differed significantly between classes ( P <0.001 for both Early and Extended growth classification) with overall growth rates showing a decreasing trend over time (ie, slowing growth) for both the Growth and Dramatic Growth groups, P <0.001 (Table 2 ).

Results The CRF, SOC, and coping styles of the MBSR group showed a decreasing trend ( P < 0.001) at after MBSR, 3 months follow-up, and 6 months follow-up compared to the before MBSR.

Temporal trends of unintentional injury mortality by age groups In the 0–4 age group, the unintentional injury mortality rate had a decreasing trend in males (AAPC=–4.6%, p<0.001) and females (AAPC=–6.8%, p<0.001).

The serum-UA levels of mice in different treatment groups showed a decreasing trend after gavage administration, among which the positive control group and the HPO group showed excellent UA-lowering efficacy (*** p < 0.001); no statistically significant difference was observed in the comparison between the groups ( Figure 5 A).
