Informal help-seeking also showed an increasing trend with longer duration [single event: 12%; intermediate: 23%; extreme: 26%; Omnibus χ 2 (2) = 11.7, p = 0.003].

The MI values displayed an increasing trend during the experiment (Friedman’s test, χ 2 (2) = 11.444, p value = 0.003), with the multiple comparison tests being statistically significant between the initial and the post condition (V = 10, Bonferroni-corrected p value = 0.980e−3).

However, the proportion of MDSCs among total urinary cells significantly decreased in the non-recurrence group, whereas it did not decrease in the recurrence group and instead showed an increasing trend ( p = 0.003) (Fig. 3 ).

Trend and Subgroup Analysis of the Non-First-Line Antihypertensive Drugs Use According to Table 4 , the overall proportion of non-first-line antihypertensive prescriptions was 2.53%, showing an increasing trend (APC=27.69%, P =0.003).

Similarly, overall internal fit showed an increasing trend as pixel offset values increased ( p = 0.004).

Patients without diabetes showed an increasing trend with age in plaque rupture ( P =0.004) and lipid‐rich plaque ( P =0.018), whereas patients with diabetes had a high prevalence of these vulnerable features at an early age that remained high across age groups.

Six months after surgery, BOP had a decreasing trend in the PRF and CGF groups ( P = 0.003 and P = 0.043), with an increasing trend in the control group ( P = 0.004) ( Table 3 ).

jejuni isolates to (fluoro)quinolones showed an increasing trend in samples collected from chickens between 1985 and 2023, with an increase of 11.9 % for CIP ( p = 0.004) and 16.1 % for NAL ( p = 0.027).
