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.

Impact of Obesity on Clinical Presentation and Surgical Outcomes in Patients with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia Receiving Greenlight Laser Prostatectomy
Introduction Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition characterized by the proliferation of smooth muscle and epithelial cells in the prostate’s transition zone. Its increasing
Article Description
Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the applicability of the modified Clavien classification system (CCS) in grading perioperative complications of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Methods: All patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia submitted to monopolar TURP from January 2006 to February 2008 at a non-academic center were evaluated for complications occurring up to the end of the first postoperative month. All complications were classified according to the modified CCS independently by two urologists, and the final decision was based on consensus. If multiple complications per patient occurred, categorization was done in more than one grade. Results were presented as complication rates per grade. Results: Forty-four complications were recorded in 31 out of 198 patients (overall perioperative morbidity rate: 15.7%), and their grading was generally easy, non-time-consuming and straightforward. Most of them were classified as grade I (59.1%) and II (29.5%). Higher grade complications were scarce (grade III: 2.3% and grade IV: 6.8%, respectively) There was one death (grade V: 2.3%) due to acute myocardial infarction (overall mortality rate: 0.5%). Negative outcomes such as mild dysuria during this early postoperative period or retrograde ejaculation were considered sequelae and were not recorded. Nobody was complicated with severe dysuria. There was one re-operation due to residual adenoma (0.5%). Conclusions: The modified CCS represents a straightforward and easily applicable tool that may help urologists to classify the complications of TURP in a more objective and detailed way. It may serve as a standardized platform of communication among clinicians allowing for sound comparisons. © 2010 The Author(s).
