“a significant trend”

When the involved wrists were compared between the two groups, there was a significant trend toward an increased incidence of nondominant wrist involvement in group 1 patients (76.7% versus 50.9%, P = 0.021) ( Table 1 ).

Body surface area was not associated with IFN-γ concentration, but there was a significant trend toward decreased IFN-γ secretion with an increasing body mass index ( p = 0.021).

In the TN BC cases, there was also a significant trend toward a higher detection index in samples from patients in the advanced stage of BC (JT test, p = 0.021) (Fig. 6c ), whereas there was no such significant trend in the patients with luminal BC (JT test, p = 0.05) (Fig. 6b ).

In addition, in men, there was a significant trend in the distribution of mean glutathione values ( p = 0.021).

However, when the clinical grades were analyzed as ordered categories, a significant trend across groups was observed ( p = 0.022), suggesting a graded association that should be interpreted cautiously ( Figure 2 a).

Patients presenting IMH exhibited a higher prevalence of pre-procedural TIMI flow grade 0 compared with those without IMH (82.9% vs 78.0%), with a significant trend difference in pre - interventional TIMI flow grades between the two groups ( P = 0.022).

For 5α/β-reduced steroids, most had significantly lower levels in patients (n = 10), while fewer showed no change (n = 5) or higher levels (n = 1), indicating a significant trend towards lower levels ( p = 0.022).

When the clinical course of BCVA (LogMAR) from IVAn-2 to IVAn during IVA treatment was analyzed, a significant trend of worsening was found ( p = 0.022).

A significant trend from low to high IMI-MD adherence was also observed ( p = 0.022), with a lower neutrophil percentage in the high adherence group.

As with risk of hospitalisation, there was also a significant trend towards more severe ESC complexity being associated with increased risk of death (p=0.0229; mild/moderate OR=1.55 (1.30 to 1.84) and severe OR=3.09 (1.66 to 5.41)).

Hypertension stratification ( Supplementary Table 4 ) revealed significant associations for all indices in non-hypertensive participants (all P for trend < 0.001), whereas in hypertensive participants, only FM/LBM showed a significant trend ( P = 0.023).

However, this largely reflected a significant trend in the population aged 80 years and older, increasing by 0.89 (95% CI: 0.15–1.63) visits per 100,000 persons per year (p = 0.023), with other age groups remaining stable ( Fig 5 ).

Patients in the highest CRP tertile had significantly higher odds of events compared with those in the lowest tertile (OR 4.47, p = 0.023), and a significant trend across tertiles was observed ( p = 0.023).

When TP53 status was modeled as an ordinal variable, a significant trend toward worse PFS was observed (HR per step 1.28, 95% CI 1.03–1.59; p = 0.023).

Non‐native species also showed a significant trend toward earlier peak movements ( F = 5.24, p = 0.023; Figure 5c ), with the model predicting a decrease from day 159 in 1997 to about 140 by 2023.

During the progression from normal human melanocytes (n = 1) over melanoma in situ (n = 2) and primary melanoma (n = 14) to metastatic melanoma (n = 41) there is a significant trend of increase of CXCL1 gene expression (p = 0.0237).

There was a significant trend as the prevalence of protective immunity against tetanus decreased rapidly with increasing age till age 13 years (35.0%), (p = 0.024).

First, there was a significant trend in the analysis by items towards a Sentence x Age interaction, ( F2 (1,27) = 5.71, p = .024; F1 (1,62) = 2.56, p = .11).

Results There was a significant trend of higher ICU admission ( p =0.024), mortality ( p =0.006) and poor clinical outcome ( p =0.009) among the Vitamin D deficient group.

Results Compared to the reference group, the social class adjusted ORs for the high and very high contact categories were 8.18 (95% CI 0.95 to 70.33) and 14.90 (1.20 to 184.90), respectively, with a significant trend across the categories (p value=0.024).

They also found a significant trend of increased methylation in tumor samples of higher clinical stages for both miR-9-1 ( p = 0.024) and miR-9-3 ( p = 0.040).

In the extant haplotypes, there is a significant trend where each substitution adds on average 3.25 kcal mol −1 (ANOVA p = 0.024; FoldX.

The application of trend tests (Mantel–Haenszel; Kendall Tau-b) showed a significant trend ( p < 0.024 and p < 0.032, respectively), with an increasing probability of finding a positive anti-varicella serological status passing from a lower age group (84.2%) to a higher one (93.0%).

In a SET-KO background, SETα addback was associated with a significant trend towards activation ( P = .025) but no significant repressive function ( P = .201).

Number of daily prescription medications showed a significant trend ( p = 0.025), with depression prevalence increased from 38.6% (none) to 48.7% ( 1 , 2 ) to 58.3% (≥3).
