The slope estimated by a regression model indicates the mean temporal change of VCI in which a positive slope indicates an increasing trend and a negative slope denotes a decreasing trend.

In our study, the trend of marijuana detection at Colorado hospitals appeared to decrease pre-commercialization, with an increasing trend of marijuana detection in the post- commercialization period.

There is an increasing trend for reversal in the socioeconomic gradient for cardiovascular disease, with the poor and less educated having equal and sometimes higher, the burden of CVD, and its risk factors ( Chauhan and Aeri, 2015 , Yeates et al., 2015 , Prabhakaran et al., 2016 ).

[ 22 ] identified an increasing trend of uncertainty for 624 measured erosion rates and slope gradients across the world for slope steepness >11°.

Despite the periodicity of the disease we can see in other studies that the last epidemic wave of pertussis shows an increasing trend of the disease [ 6 , 14 , 17 ].

31 36 While there is an increasing trend in using mHealth apps for self-tracking and self-management of chronic diseases, 37 codesign approaches could prevent potential problems patients face in using apps that burden patients with too much information or cause feelings of shame or guilt. 37 38 The results presented here will inform subsequent patient and physician codesign sessions.

However, our data show an increasing trend of notifications for all of these MDROs, and the increase is ongoing despite the development and implementation of comprehensive infection prevention and control measures, including antibiotic stewardship, in Norwegian health care [ 16 ].

The density of total perfused vessels (lectin+), however, was greater in μV+SA constructs (373 ± 94 vessels/mm 2 ) compared to SA grafts (149 ± 55 vessels/mm 2 ), along with an increasing trend in the average vessel size (Fig. 6c ).

The line‐line model was the best model for the period pre-HFU and showed a decreasing trend followed by an increasing trend.

Spleen samples in the HIR group showed a significant upregulation of Tnfa expression ( p < 0.05) relative to NMC and an increasing trend in comparison to both control and FC groups (Fig. 1 c).

Erectile dysfunction is the persistent inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.[ 4 ] We found that mean EF score decreased significantly in both the groups at 1 month postoperatively but showed an increasing trend at 3 and 6 months.

coli were the most-common pathogens in early-onset and late-onset neonatal meningitis, respectively, both of which showed an increasing trend and had a high risk of neurological complications.

The total optical-absorption coefficient also shows an increasing trend due to the large increase of α (1) .

5 , 12 , 13 In recent years, there has been an increasing trend to use US-guided hydrostatic enema reduction. 14 Two recent studies demonstrated similar safety and efficacy between fluoroscopy-guided air enema reduction and US-guided hydrostatic enema reduction. 15 , 16 A study from China showed a higher success rate of US-guided hydrostatic reduction versus fluoroscopy-guided pneumatic reduction (statistical significance, P = 0.015). 5 Compared with fluoroscopy-guided air enema, US-guided hydrostatic enema has the advantage that it is completely free of radiation.

Nevertheless, the PSEQ score in the SM + PT group showed an increasing trend (mean: pretreatment 38.6; midterm 46.8; posttreatment 47.6) while the PT group had a decreasing trend (mean: pretreatment 34.3; midterm 33.3; posttreatment 30.7). 3.2.3.

Also as shown in Table 4 , the difference in mean knowledge, motivation, and behavioural skills scores over the repeated times were significant for both the intervention as well as control group. The mean knowledge scores showed an increasing trend from baseline to the time of second follow-up for both groups, as shown in Fig. 2 (see Table 5 ).

Our findings showed that while LAP and ABSI had an increasing trend over time, the trend of VAI significantly decreased in both GDM and non-GDM groups, results which may highly correlate with the increasing trend of TG, BMI and WC overtime reported by other studies [ 28 – 30 ].
