“marginally statistically significant”

There was a trend towards similar effects for night awakenings and sleep duration, and a marginally statistically significant effect on global self-assessed improvement of much better or better (NNT = 18, 95% CI 9 to 500).

There was indication of confounding with black smoke and nitrogen dioxide, but the pollutant-adjusted effect of CO on mortality remained at least marginally statistically significant.

The positive association for red meat intake and colorectal cancer was due more to cancer of the rectum ( n = 1,418; HR = 1.45; 95% CI = 1.20–1.75; p for trend < 0.001) than the colon ( n = 3,689; HR = 1.17; 95% CI = 1.05–1.31; p for trend < 0.001), and this difference in risk was marginally statistically significant ( p for heterogeneity = 0.06).

Risk of coronary heart disease was also lower in this group (OR = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.22–1.09), but was only marginally statistically significant.

The two genes marked N/A show marginally statistically significant changes in Array Subjects but very highly significant changes in the opposite direction in New Subjects.

Compared to the least physically active women in our cohort, women reporting the highest levels of total physical activity were at a marginally statistically significant, 50 percent lower risk of pancreatic cancer.

The tendency, after case-mix adjustment, towards a slightly shorter waiting time in the most prosperous group may be due to preferential treatment of this group, but the difference is not large (52 vs 50–51% treated within 60 days) and only marginally statistically significant, despite the very large number of cases.

Discussion and Conclusions The principal findings of this study are marginally statistically significant associations of hourly PM 2.5 exposure with OHCAs witnessed by bystanders, for all subjects, for white subjects, for subjects 60–75 years of age, and for subjects presenting with asystole ( p < 0.05).

When the effect of an anti-TNFα drug is assessed in patients who have received no previous MTX treatment, the relative ACR20 effect is small and only marginally statistically significant: 1.10 (0.96–1.26).

However, a marginally statistically significant survival advantage from neoadjuvant chemotherapy was noted for younger patients, whereas the reverse may be true for older patients.

Marginally statistically significant treatment-by-age interactions appear to be emerging for survival and disease-free survival, suggesting that younger patients may benefit from preoperative therapy, whereas the reverse may be true for older patients ( Wolmark et al , 2001 ).

Although some congener-specific associations with sex ratio were only marginally statistically significant, all nine PCB congeners with < 30% of samples below the LOQ showed the same direction of association, an improbable finding under the null hypothesis.

Patients living 30 miles or more from the dialysis clinic were 58% less likely to switch from PD to HD compared to patients living fewer than 30 miles from the dialysis clinic; but this association was marginally statistically significant.

Bias is much smaller, and only marginally statistically significant, when the study protocol explicitly allows participants to opt out of post-test counseling and the return of HIV test results.

Excretion of iron increased and was marginally statistically significant.

We found a marginally statistically significant positive association between age at first full-term pregnancy and risk of overall B-cell NHL and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, with some suggestion for increased follicular lymphoma risk, but not CLL/SLL.

Likewise, there was a marginally statistically significant interaction between COX-2 T8473C and NSAID use (p for interaction 0.04).

( Table 4 ) HIV-infected women with primary school education or lower [aOR: 1.85 (0.97, 3.51), p = 0.06] and those with two or more lifetime sexual partners [aOR: 1.80 (0.91, 3.59), p = 0.09] also had greater odds of more severe CIN, but these associations were only marginally statistically significant.

Only one contrast is marginally statistically significant, with cities with greater than $100/person spending having a greater increase in land inequality than did cities with no conservation funding.

This association remained marginally statistically significant after taking into account socio-demographic and lifestyle factors, CVD history, BMI, blood pressure, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides.

Higher levels of vWF were also observed in healthy volunteers after exposure to welding fumes as compared to a control day, though this difference was only marginally statistically significant [ 59 ].

Among the unsupervised computational methods we compared, the k -Means algorithm and Euclidean distance based hierarchical clustering resulted in patient groups with marginally statistically significant differences in disease outcome.

One of the cohort studies did attempt to adjust for frailty and physical functioning [ 52 ] and these factors were found to attenuate the association between low serum vitamin D status and hip fracture risk, although it remained marginally statistically significant.

Results showed meanwhile no statistically significant training effect on residents' use of supportive skills, although it should be noticed, that trained residents used about 16% less supportive utterances (marginally statistically significant effect).

Marginally statistically significant differences that were isolated, implausible, or inconsistent with other findings were not considered meaningful.
