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
Aims: Central venous access devices (CVADs) are often used to provide reliable venous access for factor VIII administration in children with haemophilia. This study investigates their long-term outcome. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 44 CVADs inserted into 31 children with haemophilia at a single centre between 1991 and 2006. Results: Eight (18%) CVADs are still in place and working well. Fourteen (31.8%) were removed when the child was able to return to peripheral vascular access. Twenty-two (50%) were removed because of complications, most of these children needing a replacement CVAD. The median duration that the first CVAD was in place was 51 months. There were no life-threatening complications. Conclusions: CVADs function well in children with haemophilia for a long time, with a relatively low complication rate, and can tide a child over a difficult period for vascular access. © 2009 Springer-Verlag.
