“an observed trend”

However, there was an observed trend toward a heightened risk of unruptured IAs in females, and the inclusion of a larger sample size might have potentially revealed a significant difference.

However, there was an observed trend in the percentage of cases confirmed and total number of cases.

An observed trend was the frequent use of the extreme value ‘nine’ in pairwise comparisons, potentially violating one of the core AHP axioms, which posits that no criterion should be infinitely more important than another.

This progression of fracture displacement corresponded with an observed trend of increased ICP, underscoring a quantifiable relationship between elevated ICP and the extent of orbital roof depression [ Figure 1b ].

This finding is in keeping with an observed trend toward increased use of digital health technology in older adults with chronic diseases [ 18 , 20 ].

Although the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) rt-PA Stroke Study did not identify a significant difference in the beneficial effects of IV t-PA in patients with minor strokes compared to those who received a placebo, there was an observed trend suggesting that minor stroke patients who received IV t-PA experienced favorable outcomes [ 21 ].

There was an observed trend of increased valency level over time in TV003 and TV005 BFN subgroups from Day 28 to Day 180.

21 , 22 , 23 , 24 As we investigated the liraglutide effects in a healthy lean animal model without leptin resistance, an observed trend towards reduced plasma leptin levels after chronic intrahypothalamic treatment could be responsible for the body weight regain, as this reduction has been suggested to increase caloric intake. 21 , 24 Thus, the body weight regain seems to be a natural protective counter-regulatory physiological res

There was also an observed trend of more cases in children in the recent period.

This two-year parallel arm RCT finds a statistically significant difference in knowledge acquisition between the textbook group and the Wikipedia group and an observed trend of better performance from the Wikipedia group compared to the UpToDate group, albeit the difference between the two groups is not found to be statistically significant.

7 Nevertheless, implementation efforts continue, with an observed trend of digital tools entering clinical practice through less formal routes, such as living labs and pilots. 8 9 Some pilots may result in system-scale adoption, but their results are rarely published in the literature.

Such an observed trend can be attributed to a substantial reduction in costs of hardware, software, and communication equipment.

Higher precipitation with subsequent slightly higher soil water content was confirmed on the 87th day when increased lentil transpiration was an observed trend.

As the cutoff value of 0.15 is not absolute but rather a convention, an observed trend of changing V values is informative 6 , 10 .

There was an observed trend towards an increased incidence of S. suis bacteremia over time that corresponded to an increased incidence of with S. suis IE, and the peak incidence was observed in 2021 (Fig. 1 ).

Again reflecting the experimental values, an observed trend indicating serovar 4b had a lower growth rate (average = 0.02857 h -1 ) and growth yield (average = 0.01270 gDCW/g glucose) than either serovar 1/2a (0.05835 h -1 and 0.02594 gDCW/g glucose) or 1/2b (0.07500 h -1 and 0.03333 gDCW/g glucose).

In our analysis, no significant differences were observed among ACE inhibitors and ARBs regarding odds for SARS-CoV-2-positive testing, ICU admission, and death, although there was an observed trend towards reduced odds for death with the use of ACE inhibitors.

Treatment parents reported significant pre-posttest reductions in parental hostile/aggressive rejection and parental undifferentiated rejection compared to control parents in both cohorts, with an observed trend for reductions in these specific parenting practices at 1-year follow-up, though not statistically significant ( p < 0.07).

There was an observed trend towards an increase in the percentage area of CC3 expression per total tissue section area, but this increase was not statistically significant ( Fig. 4D , P = 0.119, n = 5) B[a]P decreases the proportion of oocytes at pachytene and diplotene stages of prophase I.

An observed trend towards a possible association of this polymorphism with psoriasis' time of onset and/or patient's gender may suggest a possible contribution of the rare allele to particular clinical patterns of the disease.

Although the proportion of emergent operations did not show statistical differences between groups, there was an observed trend of an increasing percentage of emergent surgeries with the progression of surgical expertise.

In FLO-1 cells there was an observed trend toward the center of the nucleus with vorinostat exposure, but this variation did not meet our criterion for statistical significance (p = 0.06).

The study's results suggest that while there is an observed trend towards reduced fertility with higher nickel exposure, the association does not reach statistical significance when accounting for race, BMI, and age.

As HA spheroids showed significantly enhanced lipolytic activity compared to MA, which was only an observed trend in 2D culture, this may suggest that 3D spheroid culture of adipocytes are a more suitable method of generating HA.

There was an observed trend toward improved FVC at week 12 in the valganciclovir treated group, however, as the numbers were small and the duration was short, a conclusion cannot be drawn regarding the effects on lung function, especially on a long-term basis.
