≥ 18 also showed a trend towards a prolonged survival time in patients older than 18 years of age, which was however below the significance level (p = 0.39; Fig. 5 ).

Female sex showed a trend towards increased mortality.

5 This 6-month pilot study showed a trend towards improved clinical outcomes and better adherence to ADA process-of-care indicators in group visit patients compared to regular care.

Mature MDDC derived from cryopreserved PBMC of cancer patients, conversely, showed a trend towards higher numbers of COX-2 + cells compared to those derived from cryopreserved PBMC of healthy donors, suggesting a more activated or inflamed phenotype of cells from cancer patients.

However, one of our secondary outcome measures (the recording of the objective assessment of attacks) showed a trend to improvement which was apparent at 6-months, and reached statistical significance at 12-months, suggesting that the hypothesised 6-month period was too short to enable practices fully to implement change.

Although the massage group showed a trend towards greater improvement in pain and self-efficacy for managing their condition, there were no between-group differences by the end of treatment ( Table 4 ), likely due to the small cell sizes.

Additionally, the survival study showed a trend towards increased survival in the P/I null group.

Females that spent more time on the territories of high-quality, high-activity males displayed greater energetic expenditure on mate choice, lost more mass, and showed a trend towards producing smaller follicles.

DAP12-/- and FcRγ-/- mice showed a trend toward a decrease of trabecular thickness in OVX group, but didn't reach statistical significance at 6 weeks post-procedure.

False positive PET findings associated with bowel showed a trend towards higher SUV max compared to true positive lesions, but this was not statistically significant (8.5 ± 5.5 vs. 6.06 ± 3.5, p = 0.45).

In a small open label study RTX showed a trend to decrease the number of episodes of urinary urgency [ 19 ].

Measurements of neutrophil and systemic activation Expression and regulation of L-selectin Examination of the basal expression of L-selectin on neutrophils showed a trend towards lower expression in patients with RA; however, this marginally failed to reach statistical significance ( p = 0.07; Figure 2a ).

This increase in crypt length, however, showed a trend towards normal levels because the crypt length at day 3 was 41% above control level but at day 7 this was still only 13% above control level.

Gender interactions with a low status on being liked, B = 0.32, p = .04, and a low status on being good at sports, B = −0.26, p = .09, were both selected by this procedure, but the latter only showed a trend and did not reach the significance criterion of p < .05.

The crude synaptosomes prepared from the hippocampus showed a trend for an increase in protein expression of the NMDA subunits examined.

Samples with < 70% leukaemic cells after culture were significantly more resistant to 6 out of 13 drugs, and showed a trend towards being more resistant to two more drugs, than samples with > or = 80% leukaemic cells.

The distribution of GSTM1 based on histological subtypes of MM showed a trend towards a more common null phenotype in nodular melanoma than in superficial spreading melanoma (the most frequent subtypes), especially in women.

Overall survival analyses showed a trend for poorer survival in younger women with occult metastases but not in older women.

However, of all the nine genes examined, only BRCA1 showed a trend towards influencing survival according to tumor size.
