For both mild and severe pre-eclampsia, the period effect estimate shows a decrease in curvature during a period when the underlying rate was increasing, especially for severe pre-eclampsia.
However, the age-adjusted trend estimate showed a significant increase rather than decrease in the proportion of medullary tumors with increasing time since birth (Table 4).
MODIS-derived estimates also showed a decrease in carbon content in 2009, but by much smaller amount due to its limited capacity to detect changes in the landscape.
Therefore, although point estimates showed a substantial decrease with time since vaccination in the early phase, we could not demonstrate a significant decreasing influenza VE trend over time.
The pooled RR estimates showed a 36% decrease in the risk of death in the rescue arm (RR 0.64, 95% confidence interval 0.41 to 1.00, p = 0.048) and a marginally significant 28% decrease in the risk of heart failure (RR 0.72, 95% confidence interval 0.51 to 1.01, p = 0.06).
Pooled effect estimates showed a small significant decrease in diastolic and systolic blood pressure in association with particulate air pollution; a slight decrease in heart rate was found.
In March, after a string of setbacks that saw Colombia's coca crop expand threefold to more than 400,000 acres from 1995 to 2001, authorities said new estimates showed a startling 21percentt decrease in the cultivation of coca in 2003.
While the first one surveying US adults between 1985 and 2006 revealed a general increase in the prevalence of insufficient sleep [ 62], the second one, investigating a similar sample of US adults between 2004 and 2007, showed a decrease in prevalence estimates [ 17].
On pooling the three data sets (Table 4), no heterogeneity among the studies was detected (p = 0.12), and the pooled risk estimate shows a moderately statistically significant trend of decreasing risk with each variant rs5275 allele (odds ratio 0.91, 95% confidence interval 0.83 to 0.99, p = 0.02).
Countries with higher prevalence of overweight in Round 1 (e.g. Italy and Portugal) [ 5] showed a decrease in prevalence (but still had among the highest estimates in Round 2), and the country with lower prevalence in Round 1 (e.g. Latvia and Norway) [ 5] showed an increase in prevalence (but still had a lower estimate than the countries that showed the highest decrease from Round 1 to Round 2).
