PAC rates have varied over the period studied, and the frequency of reported PAC cases also varied across countries and continents, with an increasing trend as knowledge about this tumor is gained [ 7 ].

The fully adjusted model revealed an increasing trend in the prenatal diagnosis rate from 2019 to 2022, and socioeconomic inequalities that those with a college degree or higher being 1.92 (95% CI: 1.19–3.07) times more likely to undergo prenatal diagnosis compared to those with the lowest level of education, adjusted for three clinical indications, maternal age at expected delivery and study year.

From the association plot between fluid balance on day 1 and the predicted probability of 28-day mortality, the predicted probability of mortality showed a relatively stable pattern in the negative fluid balance range but demonstrated an increasing trend with more positive fluid balance ( Figure 3 ).

Given that Turkey’s fertility rate is declining each year [ 52 ] and C-section rates are as high as 60% [ 53 ]—with an increasing trend—it can be expected that UI prevalence may decrease.

With the increase in AAAs, OAR and EVAR showed an increasing trend, and EVAR surpassed OAR in 2011.

All detected TGs containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) showed an increasing trend in TAC-treated kidneys.

In the liver of Hdh Q150/Q150 mice, we found a decreasing trend of iso-BCFAs except for iso-16:0, where an increasing trend was observed.

In this context, studies using natural extracts such as curcumin and ginseng for sarcopenia treatment have been conducted [ 42 , 43 ], and recently, an increasing trend in postbiotics research has been observed.

The application of reduced chemical nitrogen combined with organic fertilizer showed an increasing trend in soil nutrient content and enzyme activity, though the differences were not statistically significant.

Within the cellular component category, a notable number of DEGs were associated with cell wall-related structures, including “cell wall” (31 to 81 genes), “external encapsulating structure” (39 to 103 genes), and “apoplast” (8 to 25 genes), showing an increasing trend in DEG counts from G1 to G4.

Overall, the mass loss showed a decreasing and then increasing trend with the increase of GO and GO–NS content—both having reached the lowest mass loss at 0.06%—and an increasing trend with the increase of the number of freeze–thaw cycles.

A substantial proportion of the Korean population exceeded the proposed urinary Na/K ratio thresholds of 2 and 4, with an increasing trend over time.

Similarly, the grain number per panicle did not display an increasing trend with the increase in N fertilizer rate, and there were no significant differences in the grain number per panicle of N180, N225, and N300 ( Table 1 ).

As the plate thickness increases, both the magnitude and the distribution depth of the residual compressive stress on the laser-treated surface of the GH3039 plates exhibit an increasing trend.

Additionally, the prevalence of disc herniations increased significantly among the controls and had an increasing trend of borderline significance among pilots.

In the Hot Modulus of Rupture (HMOR), samples containing MFC and CB both performed better, showing an increasing trend with a higher additive content, while samples containing pitch showed a decreasing trend, with strength approximately 15% lower than other samples.

Thereby, the Vickers hardness of glass-ceramics also showed an increasing trend.

After exceeding the yield stress, the value of the true stress in the specimen still presented an increasing trend with an increase in the true strain.

Conversely, moderate-intensity continuous training was associated with an increasing trend in Simpson and Shannon indices over time, along with a reduction in Bacillota and an elevation in Bacteroidota levels [ 257 ].

cumulative gold grade shows an increasing trend, and also an increasing trend for head grade vs. cumulative gold grade.

(3) As the aggregate size increases, the compressive and flexural strengths of the 3D printed ferronickel slag–GGBFS concrete show an increasing trend, indicating that larger aggregate size contributes to improved overall structural load-bearing capacity.

Incorporation of ATT moderately reduces the T i of neat PUAB, though composite T i values exhibit an increasing trend with attapulgite loading.

As the incidence angle increases to the range of 10°–40°, the fitting accuracy gradually declines, with the RMS showing an increasing trend.

Changes in chroma (Δ c *) generally followed an increasing trend, indicating enhanced color saturation after thermal treatment.
