Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
Background: Understanding the pathophysiology of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) and identifying its clinical symptoms and associated risk factors are crucial for doctors in order to create effective prevention and therapeutic methods for this prevalent otolaryngologic emergency. Methods: This study focuses on investigating the correlation between the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) and SSNHL complicated by hypertension. In this study, 120 patients diagnosed with SSNHL were divided into groups with and without hypertension, and propensity score matching was used to compare and analyze the severity, type, prognosis, and CAR levels in SSNHL. Results: The results showed that the SSNHL group with hypertension had significantly higher CAR levels, age, hearing curve abnormalities, and more severe hearing loss compared to the control group with isolated SSNHL. These differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Among different subtypes of SSNHL, CAR levels increased progressively with the advancement of the condition, and these differences were also statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: In summary, in patients with SSNHL, those with hypertension had higher CAR levels than those without a history of hypertension, and they experienced more severe hearing loss. Moreover, there was a clear correlation between CAR levels and the extent of SSNHL, indicating that greater CAR levels in patients with SSNHL are connected to more severe hearing loss in various hearing patterns and perhaps indicative of a poorer prognosis.
