"the above said"
Can I say that a statement (that follows a certain other context of course) is consistent with "the above said"?
Here's the original context
"
Even after all the studies on foreign exchange risks, no scholars have ever given any attention to the concern of how the determinants have caused the divergences of the experiment outcomes and how this problem has made it the industry to baffle over which exact direction to follow.
This article utilizes the quantile regression model to exemplify the data of the S&P500 constituent-based stock company in the US, and includes the potential factors that scholars think are the divergences in the stability examination.
We have then found out that the three variants of export percentage (positive influence), quick ratio (negative influence) and book-to-market ratio (positive influence) have all exhibited the same direction of influence when either in high or low quotient. As of company scale and debt ratio, they have both exhibited positive influence when in low quotient and negative influence when in high quotient.
What’s noteworthy is, despite of which factor it might be, the direction of influence stays consistent with the above said.

Thanks in advance!!!

I think it is acceptable, but I would probably just say "consistent with the above". However, I don't really understand what point that sentence is making. You seem to have described the direction of influence of various factors, and then you say it is "noteworthy" that the directions are as you have described.

- This feels odd to me as I am expecting the "noteworthy" point to be a new insight.
- However, I cannot claim to fully understand the subject matter, so I may be missing some essential aspect of this.
