Our analyses produced similar results to the combined analyses; the only significant result was a reduced risk of ALL in the 10–14 years since first use category, with a near-significant reduced risk in the corresponding category of lifetime years of use; however, these were based on small numbers, and there was no evidence of a trend in either variable.
Elevated interleukin-6 and triglycerides levels are significant or near-significant predictors of CAD progression.
When ANOVA indicated a significant or near-significant group effect, Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test was used for post-hoc pairwise comparisons.
In turn, the findings of a near-significant association between parental “normal vision” and reduced SR willingness indicate that parents without VIL may perceive a higher risk or burden associated with another child, potentially yielding reluctance toward fertility ( 28 , 29 ).
The results indicated that PM 2.5 exposure was significantly associated with mortality from IHD, stroke, COPD, and ALRI, while asthma and lung cancer showed near-significant trends.
The mean failure rates were relatively similar, with 4.92+-2.25 and 5.75+-2.26 for APOE genotypes ε3-ε3 and ε3-ε4, respectively. Near-significant group differences were found between ε3-ε3 and ε3-ε4 APOE groups for orientation tests and the overall number of test failures.
Zoning showed a near-significant and positive effect on hard coral cover at the end of the study but was not a significant predictor of the proportional change in hard coral cover.
Indeed, the treatment with exendin-4 had a near-significant increasing effect on the dopamine levels in the striatum of the animals.
In this analysis, near-significant mediation effects were observed for connectivity between CA1 and the individual retrosplenial parcels (bilateral Rsp1 and Rsp2), approaching significance ( p ( a × b ) < 0.05, Table S10 ).
Redundancy .please rewrite The "Trend" Signal in Domain 2 is Ignored in the Discussion Discussion mentions ceiling effects and qualitative findings but never addresses the near-significant 0.90 Beta in Domain 2.
Specifically, the significantly higher risk of SSI and near-significant rise in UTI among vitamin D deficient patients may reflect vitamin D’s specific role in epithelial defense and wound healing.
The Pearson’s product moment correlation between (i) the provincial changes in opioid dispensing (2011–2018) and the average percentage of fentanyl of the opioid-related fatality total (2016–2019) was −0.70 ( t = 2.75, df = 8, p = 0.03); the corresponding correlation between (ii) the province-based changes in opioid dispensing (peak year to 2018) and the average percentage of fentanyl of the opioid-related fatality total (2016–2019) was −0.59 ( t = −2.06, df = 8, p = 0.07), indicating significant and near-significant results, respectively (see Figure 2 for corresponding scatterplots). 4.
This near-significant result underlines the importance of choosing an unbiased method, like LASSO regression, to identify the most promising brain regions for further analysis.
Near-significant tobacco associations likely reflect the selected high-risk cohort, where cumulative exposure homogenizes the risk [ 18 ].
Multivariable logistic regression—adjusted for significant and near-significant demographic factors and comorbidities associated with WBC status—was used to evaluate the independent effects of leukopenia and leukocytosis on postoperative complications.
Decreases in negative affect were also significantly related to high frequency self-practice and greater class attendance at a near-significant level.
Missing data were minimal (<10%) but not imputed, and the near-significant interaction between physical activity and place of residence, as well as the cluster analysis findings, should be considered exploratory and confirmed in larger, longitudinal, multicentre studies. 5.
IL-8 showed near-significant reduction and no major changes in the T helper 2 cytokine IL-13 ( Fig. 5Q ).
They found only near-significant differences, making this the first study in which the Borg scale was able to distinguish significantly between upper limb exercise intensity levels in children with neurological diagnoses. 4.2.
Other near-significant positive associations with age acceleration were observed in the case of Bacteroides vulgatus and two Firmicutes species, the mucin-degrader Ruminococcus torques and Eubacterium halii .
A near-significant p -value suggests that further investigation with larger sample size could provide more insights.
Prediction of Dementia and Decline Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between low Aβ 42 at baseline and conversion to dementia as well as near-significant associations both between memory decline in the first 2 years of follow-up as well as slightly below normal executive T score at baseline, and development of dementia (Table 5 ).
Ferritin <48 h and fibrin <48 h were near-significant, with rho values of 0.401/0.390 and p values of 0.078/0.075, respectively.
Although the individual consistency of object neophilia has not been demonstrated in Darwin’s finches, previous work in this study population found a near-significant positive among-individual correlation between object neophilia and exploration of a novel environment—which is itself a significantly repeatable trait [ 49 ].
Nevertheless, the near-significant reduction in TNF-α could indicate secondary immunological effects that merit further investigation.
