Moreover, BRCA1 rs12516 CC genotype had a significantly higher BRCA1 protein expression, compared to CT/TT variant genotypes and RAD51 rs7180135 AA genotype had a borderline significant association to a higher expression of RAD51 protein, compared to RAD51 rs7180135 AG/GG variant genotypes.

According to the results of multiple logistic regression, a borderline significant relationship was observed between children’s underlying health status and parental attitudes toward vaccination. the odds ratio comparing the vaccination unacceptance between parents of children with underlying disease to children without underlying disease was approximately 1.77 (95% CI: (0.93, 3.42), P -value = 0.07) indicating that parents of children with underlying disease exhibited more unaccepting attitudes toward vaccination.

Publication year also had a borderline significant mediating effect, which could be potentially explained by treatment advances, i.e., the increased availability of ART as time progressed.

These associations remained borderline significant after testing against different sets of controls. rs9357152 was found to be an eQTL for HLA-DRB1 in HPV-positive cervical tissues (p ANOVA = 0.0009), with the risk allele lowering mRNA levels.

A borderline significant association was found when fatal cases were further restricted to 84 subjects who died out of hospital (OR = 1.84, 95% CI, 1.00-3.40), while the OR was 1.21 (95% CI, 0.75-1.94) for in-hospital deaths.

In these models, psychological distress [Model 5: OR (95% CI) = 1.11 (1.02–1.21)] and physical activity [Model 6: OR (95% CI) = 0.85 (0.77–0.94)] were the only significant covariates, with borderline significant estimates for fruit consumption [Model 6: OR (95% CI) = 0.90 (0.81–1.01)] and socioeconomic disadvantage [Model 7: OR (95% CI) = 1.39 (0.99–1.96)].

This result is borderline significant on the 90% confidence level.
