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
The mean time to peak absorption of cyclosporine (CsA) in liver transplant patients is approximately 2 hours, but in some patients the peak occurs later. The goal of this study was, therefore, to investigate the incidence of delayed absorption in 27 de novo liver transplant recipients receiving CsA ≥10 mg/kg/day (C monitoring) and in 15 maintenance patients. Patients were categorized as 'normal' absorbers (C exceeding C and C) or 'delayed' absorbers (C or C exceeding C), and as 'good' (>800 ng/mL at C, C, C, or C) or 'poor' absorbers (C, C, C and C < 800 ng/mL) on the day of study. Among de novo patients, 15 (56%) had 'normal' CsA absorption and 12 (44%) 'delayed' absorption. Good CsA absorption occurred in 16 patients (59%) and poor absorption in 11 (41%). The proportion of poor absorbers was similar in patients with normal (6 / 15, 40%) or delayed (5 / 12, 42%) absorption. Among the 12 delayed absorbers, 11 had peak CsA concentration at C. Mean C level was significantly higher in delayed absorbers (282 ± 96 ng/mL) than in normal absorbers (185 ± 88ng/mL; P = .01). Delayed absorbers reverted to normal absorption (C > C) after a median of 6 days from the day of study, and no cases of delayed absorption were found among maintenance patients. In conclusion, almost 50% of the patients had delayed CsA absorption early posttransplant; around half of these exhibited normal CsA exposure. Measurement of C in addition to C differentiates effectively between delayed and poor absorbers of CsA such that over- or underimmunosuppression can be avoided.
