The phrase "and persistent reductions in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing ongoing decreases in a particular metric or variable, often in contexts like economics, health, or environmental studies.
Example: "The study highlighted the importance of implementing strategies that lead to and persistent reductions in carbon emissions."
Alternatives: "and ongoing decreases in" or "and continual declines in".
The drop in SO2 was associated with prompt and persistent reductions in daily mortality of 2.2% overall, with about 2% for cardiac mortality, and about 4.5% for respiratory mortality.
Initial findings indicated a decrease in sulfur dioxide that was associated with prompt and persistent reductions in mortality, suggesting that higher mortality before the limitation may have been related to sulfate and/or SO2.
An important finding from this study is the clear association between acutely elevated serum IL-6 levels, a candidate biomarker for AKI currently being evaluated in clinical studies [ 20], and persistent reductions in GFR at 24 hours that are associated with ongoing inflammation and hypoxia.
We found that MPTP-treated mice exhibit a significant and persistent reduction in the number of adjusting steps when compared to saline-treated animals.
If the multifaceted quality improvement intervention and collaborative model were implemented in all intensive care units across the United States, and the results were similar to those achieved in Michigan, substantial and persistent reductions could be made in the 82 000 infections, 28 000 deaths, and $2.3 billion costs attributed to these infections annually.
Continuing cotrimoxazole for children on long-term ART led to persistent reductions in hospitalizations and prescriptions of non-ART drugs, with accompanying reductions in costs that exceeded the costs of providing cotrimoxazole itself.
These findings suggest that P7 ethanol treatment causes persistent reductions in adult brain volume and frontal cortical neurons in both males and females.
The osteoporosis prevalence rate was transformed into a applicable transition probability (incidence) using a method described by Podgor and Leske [ 49] (see Additional file 1: A.2). Especially hip fracture patients in higher age groups often have persistent reductions in their functional abilities and mobility after a fracture event [ 11].
Results: Intrauterine growth-restricted fetuses showed persistent reductions in umbilical vein blood flow per abdominal circumference and weight-specific blood flow (milliliters per minute per kilogram) from the time of diagnosis of intrauterine growth-restriction.
At steady-state, post-β-FXIIa infusion, HR remained unchanged, but there were persistent reductions in LVEDV (−71±14 μl), LVESV (−19±5 μl), SV (−52±10 μl) and CO (−18±3 ml/min or −23%) below their respective baseline values (all P<0.05).
On the other hand, prolonged calbindin reductions in superficial CA1 pyramidal cells suggest sustained down-regulation of calbindin expression owing to persistent reductions in the activity of these neurons.
