Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Since August 1971, 244 highly selective vagotomies were performed for pyloric and duodenal ulceration by one surgeon (W.A.F.M.). There was one postoperative death. Twenty (8 per cent) patients were lost to follow‐up. The remaining 223 patients were followed up for 1 to 14 years (mean 4.2 years). On the modified Visick grading system 83.4 percent were Visick 1 or 11 and 16.6 per cent were Visick III or IV. The failures were mainly recurrences. The recurrence rate was 11.2 percent. Certain factors were examined to try to elucidate those influencing recurrence rate but no significant prognostic indicator was found. Acid studies were analysed and no significant relationship between these and the development of a recurrence could be found. The second 100 vagotomies were better than the first as judged by the results of studies of insulin‐stimulated acid. Finally, we question whether all recurrences should automatically be regarded as treatment failures and the patients classified as Visick IV. Copyright © 1988 British Journal of Surgery Society Ltd.
