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
Open abdomen is the final result of a variety of diseases and their treatment strategies. The aim of this article is to present systematically late complications after open abdominal therapy and our own treatment results from 2003 to 2005. The main diagnoses for open abdomen are persistent peritonitis, abdominal compartment syndrome, and abdominal injuries. A perioperative mortality rate of 10-56%, long stays at the ICU, and a mean of 3-5 reoperations are characteristic for the severity of such diseases. Late complications may include incisional hernia (47-78%), gastrointestinal and pancreatic fistulas (8-41%), postoperative delayed abscess (10-21%), polyneuropathy (21%), psychic disorders (24%), indigestion (12%), and ossification (17%). These postoperative disorders may range in severity from clinically less significant to therapy-relevant with surgical consequences. Despite the high morbidity, approximately 75% of surviving patients achieve good quality of life. In our opinion, this justifies the extensive treatment concepts and associated high costs. © Springer Medizin Verlag 2006.
