Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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.

Book Chapter Description
Assessment and management of polypharmacy in old trauma patients can be divided into several clinically overlapping phases. The immediate trauma phase and early periods following trauma often lead to an increased medication load due to acute pain treatment and anesthesia. Thus, assessment and management of polypharmacy are key elements during the early mobilization and discharge phase of a geriatric trauma patient. A structured and comprehensive review of each medication based on the risk benefit ratio should ideally lead to the reduction of both number and dose of medication. Every modification of a medication regimen which aims to reduce patient risk should be communicated to the primary care physician prior at with discharge in order to improve acceptance.
