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
The number of dialysis patients needing intensive medical care is steadily increasing, mostly due to cardiovascular diseases. Of the patients 50 % are admitted due to myocardial infarction, malignant arrhythmia or acute cardiac failure and many also due to hyperkalemia and acute volume overload against the background of anuria or oligouria associated with arterial hypertension and hypervolemic hypertensive pulmonary edema. The treatment of an acute cardiac syndrome is comparable to the treatment of patients with healthy kidneys and despite the significantly higher cardiovascular mortality of these patients the acute prognosis is not significantly different to non-dialysis patients. In association with hypervolemic hypertensive pulmonary edema and all forms of hyperkalemia, dialysis treatment is always necessary. In the case of complications due to infections, in particular septicemia, dialysis patients seem to profit from the general therapy guidelines for septic patients, such as early goal-directed therapy. Underdosing of antibiotics for dialysis patients with sepsis represents a substantial problem in the clinical practice and can additionally endanger these patients. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
