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.

Article Description
Plasma endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentrations in 69 bacteremic patients were compared with those in 54 nonbacteremic patients suffering from suspected bacterial infections. Only three (11%) of the 27 patients with gram-negative bacteremia showed detectable levels of endotoxin. TNF-α was detected in 6% of the bacteremic patients and in none of the nonbacteremic patients. Median IL-6 levels were significantly higher in bacteremic than in nonbacteremic patients (55 vs. 0 pg/ml, p=0.0008). IL-6 concentrations were similar in neutropenic and non-neutropenic bacteremic patients (median 55 vs. 74 pg/ml). In contrast, neutropenic bacteremic patients had significantly lower concentrations of tIL-1ra than non-neutropenic bacteremic patients (250 vs. 1,950 pg/ml, p<0.0001). Patients with fatal bacteremia had significantly higher concentrations of IL-6 and IL-1ra than the survivors (median, 450 vs. 40, p=0.012 and 7,600 vs. 420 pg/ml, p=0.0075, respectively). Determinations of endotoxin or TNF-α in patients with suspected bacteremia failed to offer clinically relevant data on the prognosis of these patients. IL-6 levels correlated with both the presence of bacteremia and the risk of death. Granulocytopenic patients with bacteremia had lower levels of circulating IL-1ra than patients with normal granulocyte counts, and these levels correlated with poor outcome. © 1995 MMV Medizin Verlag.
