“of borderline significance”

It was found that the perceived stress rate decreased by a level of borderline significance, to 36.9% in 2009 from 40.0% in 2006.

The natural history of these children remains ill-defined; even so, the trial data suggest that secondary penicillin prophylaxis in them would prevent the progression of RHD.[ 10 ] An NNT of only 13 patients over 2 years appears a very attractive proposition to avert a potentially lethal RHD.[ 10 ] That too, when none of the patients in the control group developed rheumatic fever! The purpose of this communication is to suggest that this conclusion does not reflect the realism but results from the mere statistical treatment of images of borderline significance, or by chance.

A similar difference of borderline significance was observed in females, which live significantly longer irrespective of their Pml status.

They observed inverse associations of borderline significance between leisure-time physical activity and risk of stroke, with a 17% stroke risk reduction being observed for the most active women in comparison to the least active women in the study.

Upon adjustment for demographic factors and baseline transferrin saturation, and further adjustment for oxidative stress as measured by isofurans concentration, these observed associations remained statistically significant for IL-6, but were only of borderline significance for hsCRP (Table 5 ).

Results As previously reported [ 7 ] and shown in Table 1 , of all demographic and epidemiologic factors evaluated, only BMI was associated with a greater risk for experiencing severe skin toxicities following radiation therapy, although there was an association of borderline significance with alcohol consumption (yes/no).

The impact of the FVL mutation appears to differ in regard to urine albumin excretion and plasma creatinine concentrations, considering that the difference in plasma creatinine concentrations was only of borderline significance or showed a trend between FVL-negative and FVL-positive individuals, while urine albumin excretion differed significantly in these two studies.

The p53 overexpression hazard ratios were of borderline significance for the HR+/HER2+ subgroup and were not significant for the HR-/HER2+ and HR-/HER2- subgroups.

The rate reduction in COPD-related hospital admissions was of borderline significance at 12 months, reaching significance at 24 and 36 months.

In the multivariate analysis, a poor Royal Marsden Hospital (RMH) prognostic score was associated with SFs (OR = 2.3; 95%CI [1.0–5.7], p = 0.06), although this was of borderline significance likely because of small numbers.

Neither of the fucose derivatives had any perceivable effect on the parasite burden of these cells, and only one of the mannosides ( 5a ) showed any activity, that being of borderline significance.

45 The association of physician-diagnosed asthma in Lebanon with WPS was of borderline significance after adjusting for cigarette smoking and other variables. 78 Furthermore, data were collected by phone interviews, making the diagnosis unreliable.

The presence of subcortical lesions and high WMC scores, particularly in the basal ganglia, were of borderline significance after adjustment.

This may be partly due to the fact that there are significant correlations between uPA/PAI-1 and SPF - a clinical finding that corresponds well with experi- mental evidence suggesting that cell proliferation is stimulated after internalization of the uPA/PAI-1/uPA-R complex. Ploidy was not a statistically significant factor for DFS and only of borderline significance for OS.

In the baseline model, a statistical association of borderline significance between migration status and non-provision of NA was found.

However, this correlation is of borderline significance in septic patients ( Table 5 ).

An association of borderline significance was observed for eye cancer (4.7, 1.0–25.0), and one of four patients with anal cancers were HIV positive (OR: 7.7, 0.6–93.0) (Table 2 ).

A one percent increase in IAF was associated with a significant >1 unit increase in CASS in both men and women (0.006 and 0.009 respectively on the log scale) although the association in men was of borderline significance and was not robust to repeated bootstrap analysis.

However, this difference was only of borderline significance after being corrected for multiple comparisons ( P 3 = 0.08).

showed that 0.5 mEq/kg sodium bicarbonate supplementation for 30 days did reduce plasma aldosterone and endothelin-1 levels in patients with CKD stage G1 or G2.[ 12 ] In agreement, we also observed that sodium bicarbonate reduced plasma aldosterone, although this was of borderline significance.

The positive association between PCB and SHBG levels among the Faroese young men is consistent with a previous study of Faroese 14-years old boys where increased SHBG levels were observed at higher PCB exposure levels [ 38 ] and, albeit only of borderline significance, in the Faroese fertile men [ 24 ].

They suggested that extension of the tonsils up to 3 mm below the foramen magnum was normal, may be considered of borderline significance between 3 and 5 mm, and was pathologic when it exceeds 5 mm [ 7 ].

For both groups, odds ratios for contrasts between 2014 and 2019 were in the direction of continued lowering of the odds of ever smoking, though were of borderline significance for the whole sample only.

[ 66 ] observed that the treatment group had a reduction in serum CRP of borderline significance compared to the placebo group.

Concerning the TYMS genotype, there was a linkage disequilibrium between the 3′UTR insdel variation and the 5′UTR tandem repeat, which was of borderline significance.
