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.

Review Description
Endophthalmitis is a rare but frequently devastating infection, caused by diverse organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The causative agents of endophthalmitis vary according to the mechanism. The involvement of intraocular structures can result from exogenous spread from ocular trauma, infection of adjacent structures, or as a complication of intraocular surgery. Of the causes of exogenous endophthalmitis, post-operative endophthalmitis is the most frequently encountered; specifically, cataract surgery is the most frequent eye surgery and, thus, leads the list of surgery-associated endophthalmitis. Exogenous source is far more common than endogenous endophthalmitis, a disease that is caused by the hematogenous spread of organisms from a remote infectious site to the eye, leading to severe visual loss. Several large series estimate that endogenous endophthalmitis accounts for 2-15 % of all cases of endophthalmitis. Progressive vitritis is a hallmark for all forms of endophthalmitis, accompanied by intraocular inflammation, loss of vision, pain, and hypopyon. The common presentation consists of reduced vision, conjunctival injection, pain, and eyelid swelling. We reviewed the microbiology of endophthalmitis during a 9-year period in Winnipeg, Canada. Gram-positive bacteria with coagulase-negative staphylococci are the most common causative organisms, reflecting the association with surgical procedures. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
