They identified the sign in 228 of 808 patients (28.2%) who completed bronchoprovocation test (BPT), about 196 (86%) of patients had negative-BPT indicating that patients with the sign maybe have a negative trend prevalence of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR).
In addition, granulation time decreased as the retention efficiency increased ( Figure 6 b), i.e., showing a negative trend (where granulation time = −13.541 × retention efficiency +26.409, R 2 = 0.9704).
A negative trend in PET was found at 23 stations (41.1%); the trend was statistically significant at eight stations (14.3%) at a 95% confidence level.
Correlations for each age group separately confirmed a negative trend between these two dependent measures, supporting this idea, albeit they were all non-significant, potentially due to the small sample sizes.
Furthermore, significant heterogeneity in incidence trends was observed in the youngest age group, showing a positive trend among former smokers and a negative trend among never and current smokers.
Finally, we found a negative trend between temperature range and P 50 in the three provenance trials ( Figure 3 ).
Unlike the MLM option, which fell into the previous group of population decline to 120–140 million (which, however, was also very close to the lower threshold), the MML and LMM options do not “reverse” a negative trend in population dynamics during the forecast period, but only slow it down at the levels of 120 and 108 million people, respectively.
To illustrate, exact matching showed a negative trend for sexual reoffending and propensity score matching a positive effect.
The EVs/cells RNA ratio indicated a positive trend (>1) for antiHER2 and a negative trend (<1) for E7 mRNAs ( Figure 1 I), suggesting effects beyond the coding probability if a certain RNA threshold is reached.
Namely, glaucoma was significantly associated with a negative trend (i.e. worsening) of the central MVFS and MD.
For instance, the sale of genetic tests through the Internet was almost universally denied in Chokoshvili’s sample, while our DE and GR groups, although displaying a negative trend, had some participants respond with neutral or even a positive attitude.
Inflation and deflation of iTEM are statistically confirmed by a linear regression analysis revealing a positive and a negative trend after infection with mCMV-WT and mCMV-Δm152, respectively ( Figure 6C ).
There is little evidence of a negative trend as only two of the eight countries show a distinctly declining pass-through since 1985 (Australia and Japan).
Males aged 20–30 years presented a negative trend (β = -0.0570, 95% CI -0.1656, 0.0517), and males with the age of 31–40 years showed a positive trend (β = 0.0810, 95% CI -0.0312, 0.1931).
A negative trend was evident in the Bland–Altman plot of Vp (Fig. 3 ), indicating a larger deviation in DP-derived Vp than in ET-derived Vp.
The strength and continuity in the diurnal temperature range-species’ range size relationship, with a negative trend being visible in both island and continental mountains (Fig. 3 a), suggest that short-term temperature variation plays a major role in driving the observed range-size pattern that cannot be imputed to island-specific factors (e.g. lower competition).
During winter, some clusters such as 8, 12, and 13 located in the eastern parts of the CONUS experienced a significant increase in baseflow while western clusters (such as 5, and 14) show a negative trend in this period.
Even though the correlations were negligible, we noticed a negative trend between height and spine length reduction, indicating more shrinkage in heavier and taller patients.
In Delhi, the annual average of many pollutants showed a negative trend.
In the central U.S., T 2 has a negative trend of −0.05 °C/decade, whereas T 4 is 0.03 °C/decade.
3.1.3 Sea Surface Chlorophyll‐a Concentration The average CHL showed contrasting patterns between regions, with a negative trend in the North Pacific feeding area and an increasing trend in the South Pacific feeding area (Figure S6 ).
It is also worth noting the effectiveness of monotherapy with iPDE-5 in the short term ( p = .05); however, upon observation after 6 months, a negative trend in the obtained IIEF scores was noted, likely associated with the persistence of a high level of stress, which will be further discussed.
However, a negative trend change in the monthly coverage by 5.11–5.68% was observed in all areas, with statistical significance when assessed against a p -value cut-off at 0.05.
( 51 ) suggests a negative trend in speed for both boys and girls.
When evaluating scores, the DLQI exhibits a negative trend where lower scores indicate an improvement in QoL.
