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: Neurofilament light chain (NfL) reflects axonal damage in neurological disorders. It has recently been evaluated in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). A biomarker indicating the severity of optic nerve damage in IIH could support diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic decisions. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed NfL concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 35 IIH patients and 12 healthy controls, who had received diagnostic workup for IIH in our clinic. The diagnosis of IIH was made according to the modified Friedman criteria for IIH and for IIH without papilledema Friedman DI et al Neurol 81:1159–1165 (2013) [1]. NfL in the CSF (CSF-NfL) was correlated with the severity of papilledema and with CSF opening pressure. Results: CSF-NfL correlated with CSF opening pressure at the time of collection. In patients with IIH and moderate or severe papilledema, CSF-NfL was significantly increased compared to patients with mild or no papilledema. Healthy controls with raised intracranial pressure showed no relevant elevation of CSF-NfL. Conclusion: CSF-NfL appears to correlate with the severity of papilledema in IIH and with CSF opening pressure and may therefore be a predictor of optic nerve damage in IIH patients.
