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
After successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest, patients with an ST-elevation myocardial infarction have three options: no immediate reperfusion, systemic thrombolysis or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). In the present review, we analyzed the published data on outcome, neurologically intact survival and complications (e.g., bleeding). Results We found that total survival is better with PPCI (61%) as compared to thrombolysis (54%) or no reperfusion (40%). Neurologically intact survival (cerebral performance category of 1 or 2 at discharge or > 6 months) is found more often in thrombolyzed patients (54%) than in patients with PPCI (49%) or without reperfusion therapy (37%). Bleeding complications are not different from patients who have not been resuscitated and have no relevant influence on outcome, even if therapeutic hypothermia is applied. Conclusion Systemic thrombolysis for patients after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation with ST-elevation myocardial infarction leads to a better rate of patients with neurologically intact survival compared to primary coronary intervention or to conservative treatment without reperfusion. © 2009 Spinger.
