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
In individual cases of patients with an appropriate risk constellation, epilepsy can be diagnosed even after one unprovoked seizure. The exact classification of seizures and epilepsy is the basic prerequisite for a successful therapy. According to the latest classification proposal by the International League Against Epilepsy, epilepsies are differentiated based on seizure types, etiology and syndromes, by taking comorbidities into consideration. More than 20 substances are available in Germany for antiepileptic drug treatment; however, most of the newer drugs are often not licensed for use in children and this particularly applies to monotherapy. Pharmacoresistance is defined as the failure of two attempts at treatment with adequately selected antiepileptic drugs. In addition to drug therapy, epilepsy surgery, neurostimulation and ketogenic diets are further options for the differential therapy.
