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
Purpose: This study aimed at analyzing retrospectively the risk factors for anastomotic leakage for lower rectal cancer treated with preoperative radiotherapy. Methods: The subjects were 108 patients with T3 lower rectal cancer, who underwent curative resection following preoperative radiotherapy. All patients had a diverting stoma made. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted for the independent clinical variables. Results: Anastomotic leakage developed in 19 (17.6 %) patients. Univariate analysis of the risk factors for anastomotic leakage revealed that arterial ligation with a high tie (p = 0.001), undifferentiated tumor type (p = 0.002), a shorter distance from the anal verge (p = 0.086), and a longer hospital stay (p = 0.0002) were significant predictors of leakage. Multivariate analysis revealed that a high tie [hazard ratio 12.22 (95 % confidence interval 2.83–87.94); p = 0.0003], undifferentiated tumor type [91.15 (5.98–3128.03); p = 0.0008], and a long hospital stay [13.03 (2.86–104.93); p = 0.0004] were independently associated with anastomotic leakage. Conclusion: Our data suggest that preoperative radiotherapy and a high tie for lower rectal cancer are independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage.
