GLS and SSR were considered decreased when GLS > − 15% and SSR > − 1 s−1 [29].
In addition, when only the KRAS WT cases were considered, decreased TTP was significantly associated with the presence of PIK3CA mutation (4.3 vs. 6.4 months, p = 0.01) (Figure 4C) and PTEN downregulation (3.7 vs. 5.0 months, p = 0.002) (Figure 4D).
GLPS was considered decreased when > −15% [ 14].
Several auxin responsive genes and genes involved auxin transport and perception were among the set of genes that were considered decreased in the mutants.
We considered decreased efficiency of RNA cleavage at the ADH2 poly(A) site to be the most likely cause of the blue phenotype.
Prebronchodilator maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) was recorded, was considered decreased if it fell below the lower limit of normal, and was <32xFEV1 [ 9].
Among the PHQ-9 depressive symptoms, GPs and psychiatrists considered decreased interest, depressed mood and suicidal ideation to be most important in defining cure, whereas concentration, appetite and psychomotor retardation/agitation were considered to be least important (Table 2).
We considered decreasing the dosage of the antipsychotics, to avoid neurotoxicity, but this became impossible because the patient became ever more agitated and had to be restrained for longer periods.
The FEV1 and FVC values were considered decreased if they were <80% of predicted, FEV1/FVC ratio if it was <88% of predicted, and MEF50 if it was <62% of predicted [ 34].
Mean change in thickness was not faster in the sepsis group compared to the non-sepsis group, when considering decrease in thickness 24, 48 or 72 hours after the start of MV.
