4 , our findings suggest a possible trend toward a relationship between hearing phenotypes and genotypes, in terms of both hearing levels and hearing loss onset; genetic variants with high impacts on the protein were associated with more severe hearing loss and earlier age of hearing loss onset.
2 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 Over the past decade, studies investigating HPV‐associated OPSCC have reported the mean or median patient ages, and these data suggest a possible trend of increasing age.
Descriptive data suggest a possible trend for increasing percentage of new persistent opioid use with higher community levels of unemployment rate, opioid prescription rate and drug poisoning rates (Table 2 ).
Septa prevalence did not differ significantly across age groups ( χ 2 = 9.084, p = 0.059); however, this borderline value suggests a possible trend toward an age‐related variation that did not reach statistical significance (Figure 4 ).
There were no meaningful differences in the results of analyses for all participants and restricted to participants who correctly answered the rationality test, except for a possible trend for rational responders to be more likely to choose all tests.
For this reason, although a possible trend favoring RS-RARP in reducing these adverse side-effects can certainly not be denied, comparable long-term follow-up for both approaches and larger sample sizes would be needed to draw further conclusions.
108.3 ± 18, respectively, p < 0.01) as well as a possible trend in inhibiting further tissue damage (% damage: day 20 = 4.9 ± 2.5, day 63 vehicle = 5.1 ± 5.6, and day 63 RTL342M = 1.7 ± 2.9) and ongoing demyelination (% demyelination: day 20 = 4.3 ± 3.6, day 63 vehicle = 4.1 ± 4.7, and day 63 RTL342M = 1.8 ± 1.7) (Fig. 1b ).
Whilst specific antibody levels in plasma were not significantly increased by diet, there was a possible trend for all three isotypes (IgM, IgA and IgG 1 ) to be increased by GP-supplementation.
A nominal between-group difference was detected between healthy controls and the high MSSS group ( p = 0.024; adj p = 0.144, Figure 2 C), indicating a possible trend toward altered microbial composition with greater disease severity.
Patient Age and the Likelihood of Recovery—Is There Any Connection? A possible trend towards faster recovery in the younger patients of our series could favor plasticity as a key mechanism of recovery.
The heterogeneity between installations and a possible trend in mortality with an increasing distance from installations were also tested (Breslow and Day, 1987).
Mother’s PA practice is a predictor of children’s QGMD in this study, and similarly a possible trend has been observed for mother’s sedentariness influencing the QGMD; unfortunately, no studies in the literature exist that can confirm this finding.
Discussion In this phase 2 tuberculosis clinical trial, an investigational intensive phase regimen comprised of daily low-dose rifapentine plus moxifloxacin in addition to isoniazid and pyrazinamide was not less bactericidal than the control regimen as assessed using sputum culture-based surrogate endpoints, and there was a possible trend towards superiority of the investigational regimen when MGIT liquid medium was used for endpoint measurement.
Furthermore, the quantitative analysis uncovered a possible trend toward increased readiness to quit among smokers in the treatment group compared to the control group; however, this did not reach conventional levels of statistical significance (b=1.33; z =1.91; P =.06).
Although not statistically significant, the near-threshold p -value for planned roll ( p = 0.060) suggests a possible trend that may reach significance in larger studies.
Our pilot study of treated Bolivian patients residing in Barcelona initially detected a possible trend for a decrease in IgG1 titre compared to IgG and the other IgG subclasses.
A comparison of needle gauge and total passes was completed using data from previously reported cases to establish a possible trend.
Although this difference was not statistically significant, it suggests a possible trend toward a higher prevalence in the MPI-positive subgroup.
To control for a possible trend (due to, e.g., fatigue, conformity, or alienation) across the repeated answers by the respondents, the decisions were arranged in six different orders of goods.
Our mouse model exhibited higher levels of anti-SSA/Ro52 and antiSSA/Ro60 antibodies in females at the age of 7 months, and higher levels of anti-SSB/La antibodies in females at 12 months of age, providing clues for a possible trend that is not easily discernable in human patients who are usually diagnosed when the disease is already established: High anti-SSA/Ro52+60 antibodies might be a trait of early disease stages, while the anti-SSB/La antibodies may have delayed elevation with respect to disease development.
The p-values observed in our data, such as 1.00 for grade and 1.00 for stage, suggest a possible trend that may become meaningful in a larger cohort study, as Zhang et al.'s study [ 16 ], which showed that TAM density in distinct tumor compartments correlates with patient outcomes.
23 Therefore, while the result suggests a possible trend toward improved early recovery with liposomal bupivacaine, it should be interpreted with caution and may not represent a clinically perceptible benefit to patients.
Considering the evidence of a possible trend of slight decrease of the overall lung cancer incidence during the same period [ 20 ], the latter assumption might have led to an under-estimation of SE of the final version of the proposed NSCLC-finding algorithm from 2014 onward (in 2014 the SE max was 39% and min 35%).
While this difference was not proven experimentally, it could suggest a possible trend, possibly due to genetic differences or physical conditions.
Although these values suggest a possible trend toward increased PCV3 detection in PCV2-positive farms, the confidence intervals include 1, indicating no conclusive association.
