The phrase "a mean overall decrease" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing statistical data or trends that indicate a general reduction in a particular measure or variable.
Example: "The study revealed a mean overall decrease in temperature over the past decade, suggesting significant climate change."
Alternatives: "an average overall decline" or "a general reduction overall".
After 48 h, renal function slightly improved in both groups, resulting in a mean overall decrease in eGFR of −5.9 ± 0.8 ml/min/1.73 m in the metformin group and −7.1 ± 0.8 ml/min/1.73 m in the control group from baseline to four months.
In this previous study, a mean overall decrease of bacterial counts of 1.00 ± 1.44 log10 was found, and the authors concluded that PSB specimens can be frozen at -80°C with good diagnostic reliability of culture, except for Streptococcus pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.
Within the last 50 Ma, however, the world has experienced a transition: a fluctuating but overall decrease in mean temperatures [ 7, 11, 12] that shifted the distribution of frost-intolerant plants towards the equatorial zones.
For the other degradation liquids and time points, the mean pore diameter was seen to decrease almost linearly over time and was rather similar for the three liquids, likely a result of merging of pores in the periphery of the specimens into a few pores with a larger mean diameter, thus resulting in an overall decrease in the mean pore diameter.
The subgroup with moderate to severe OA was observed with a significant overall decrease in T1Gd (mean, 404 ~ 452 ms, p = 0.001 ~ 0.020) and an increase in ΔR1 (mean, 1.17 ~1.69 s-1, p = 0.001 ~ 0.020).
24 On the patient level, discontinuation of rosiglitazone was associated with a slight overall decrease in the mean level of glycated haemoglobin.
The sequencing data confirm the spectratype data, showing an overall decrease in mean CDR3 size, and also show that when the effect of clonal expansion is removed the challenge-induced CDR3 size shift is similar between the two groups.
Consistent with triptorelin's success in maintaining long-term castration, PSA in this study fell by a median of 97% by month 6 and 96% at month 12. Similarly, at month 12 in the US leuprolide acetate trial, mean PSA overall decreased by 90.2%, and only 4 of 103 patients had increased PSA versus baseline (39.8 ± 1.5 ng/mL).
A decrease of SD or mean TOP indicate a less heterogeneous lung and/or an overall decrease in collapsed lung units.
Varicella cases decreased from 6,079 cases (a mean of 6.6 cases per 1,000 patient contacts) in 2006/07 to 1,464 cases (2.2 cases per 1,000 patient contacts) in 2010/11, thus showing an overall decrease in the mean number of cases by 67% during the five seasons.
This heterogeneity induces an overall decrease in the mean saprolite production rate.
