“borderline significant”

Moreover, we found a borderline significant difference in abdominal obesity among adolescents living in urban areas (16.9%) compared with rural areas (7.8%).

Although borderline significant, the OR for the ‘strengthening’ (OR=1.57 (95% CI 0.99 to 2.49)) attachment was of comparable strength to the ‘high level’ attachment (OR=1.54 (95% CI 1.01 to 2.35)).

Our synonymous validation did however produce two borderline significant results in other sets, which could either uncover possible false positive associations, potentially due to the limitations of this study cohort, or could be true findings as not all synonymous variation is fully neutral [ 66 ].

After Bonferroni correction for the number variants tested the link between DNMT3L 11330C>T and childhood intelligence remained significant by linear regression and centile analysis; only the additive regression model was borderline significant.

For the additive model, a borderline significant publication bias was observed ( P for Egger's test = 0.04).

Borderline significant results were reported in one review ( 8 ) and in another review when the service was accompanied by other e-services ( 44 ).

[ 58 ] examined the influence of female hormones on the thickness and elasticity of the fasciae in users and non-users of hormonal contraceptives and found a borderline significant difference between the first (during the first 5 days of the MC) and second (between day 9 and day 13) measurements of the fascia lata among the non-users, and no significant changes in the thicknesses of the thoracolumbar and plantar fasciae.

Copy number losses on chromosomes 9 and 11 occurred only in KPTC mice (Fisher’s exact test, two-sided p value: 0.06)—a borderline significant result, likely due to our small sample size.

For node‐positive disease ( P = .051) and male gender ( P = .067), these differences were borderline significant at the 5% level.

The increase in all non-SSB drinks was borderline significant 0.011 (95% CI -0.002, -0.020) and the increase in non-SSB excluding water and fruit juice was statistically significant, 0.009 (95% CI 0.004, 0.013).

Although the BIC continued to increase when adding a sixth class (Additional file 1 : Table S1), the increase was now smaller and the LMR test was only borderline significant.

Finally, ventricular tachyarrhythmia was linked to a borderline significant, nearly 8-fold increase in mortality (RR = 7.74, 95%CI [1.00, 59.69]).

This could have led to a decrease in statistical power, potentially explaining some of the borderline significant results (eg, correlation between 25(OH)D and UPC).

Since these results were borderline significant, we hypothesize that with a larger sample size, significance may also have been achieved.

However, adjusting for known risk factors resulted in an only borderline significant parameter estimate, perhaps caused by an insufficient sample size, as plasma from 83 patients lacked measurement of D-dimer.

Adjusting for age and gender made “animals in the household” not significant (OR 1.20; 95 % CI: 0.97–1.48), while being a current smoker was borderline significant (OR 0.78; 95 % CI: 0.60–1.01).

After univariable Cox regression analyses, variables with a P value < 0.06 (borderline significant) were included in the multivariable Cox regression analyses to address potential confounding factors.

In this case, ddPCR could be utilized as a validation test to overcome possible sequencing errors or borderline significant results in targeted NGS ultra-deep sequencing.

No associations were observed in the exploratory analyses between the intake of total polyphenols, flavonoids and phenolic acids and the subtypes of EOC, including serous, endometrioid, mucinous, and clear cell tumours ( Table 3 ), although results were borderline significant for phenolic acid intake and serous EOC risk (HR Q4vsQ1 = 1.24, 95% CI 0.99–1.56; p -trend = 0.04).

Associations with elevated WC in women were borderline significant. 4.

A study in first year pupils in Chinese primary schools found that a single 40 min session taught by the class teacher and a gift of one bar of soap for the child to take home was associated with a borderline significant reduction in school absenteeism, and when this session and gift was supplemented with continuous provision of soap to the school, the reduction in absenteeism was statistically significant (Bowen et al. 2007 ).

In the multivariable‐adjusted time‐dependent model, statin use was associated with a borderline significant lower risk of NHL compared to nonusers (HR 0.81, 95% C.I. 0.66–1.00) and in an analysis by statin lipophilicity, there was a suggestion of lower risk of NHL seen with use of lipophilic statins (HR 0.83, 95% C.I. 0.66–1.03).

In a multivariate model with DRP as the dependent variable and significant variables from the simple model as independent variables (number of drugs at admission, age [borderline significant], and stroke), the number of drugs (OR, 1.241 [95% CI, 1.122-1.374]) and stroke (OR, 4.306 [95% CI, 1.685-11.005]) remained significant.

In addition, the increases in CD4 cell counts 6 months after ART were smaller in HBV co-infected and HCV co-infected subjects than in those with HIV only (borderline significant).

Similarly, the “baked desserts” pattern was positively associated with year 6 HbA1c in all models and revealed a borderline significant association in the model further adjusted for total calories and blood lipids in the T1D group.
