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
The term diverticular disease is a generic term that is usually reserved for the condition of acquired false diverticula that affect predominantly the left sided and sigmoid colon. Right-sided diverticular disease does occur and is seen in practice, but is almost exclusively found in Oriental or Asian patients. Other diverticula exist (e. g. Meckel's diverticula) but will not be discussed in this chapter. Diverticular disease is a common condition with a prevalence of greater than 60% in Western populations who reach the age of 70 years [1]. Autopsy studies on patients with non-gastrointestinal (GI)-related death have shown diverticula to exist within the colon of patients in their second decade. As people get older, their likelihood of having at least one diverticulum in their colon increases. The prevalence within the Western population is said to be increasing; however, an element of this increase is likely to reflect increased detection, especially as we enter the advent of bowel-cancer screening programmes. With the prevalence statistics in mind, therefore, it is perhaps surprising to reflect on the paucity with which this group of patients presents to the healthcare services. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
