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 and aims: The selection of appropriate candidates for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is important and challenging. To validate the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) 3.0 in predicting mortality in patients with cirrhosis after TIPS creation. Methods: A total of 855 consecutive patients with cirrhosis from December 2011 to October 2019 who underwent TIPS placement were retrospectively reviewed. The prognostic value of the MELD 3.0, MELD, MELD-Na, Child–Pugh and FIPS score was assessed using Harrell’s C concordance index (c-index). The Hosmer–Lemeshow test was used to test the goodness of fit of all models and the calibration plot was drawn. Results: The c-index of the MELD 3.0 in predicting 3-month mortality was 0.727 (0.645–0.808), which were significantly superior to the MELD (0.663 [0.565–0.761]; P = 0.015), MELD-Na (0.672 [0.577–0.768]; P = 0.008) and FIPS (0.582 [0.477–0.687]; P = 0.015). The Child–Pugh score reached c-indices of 0.754 (0.673–0.835), 0.720 (0.649–0.792), 0.705 (0.643–0.766) and 0.665 (0.614–0.716) for 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year mortality, respectively, which seems comparable to MELD 3.0. A MELD 3.0 of 14 could be used as a cut-off point for discriminating between high- and low-risk patients. The MELD 3.0 could stratify patients with Child–Pugh grade B (log-rank P < 0.001). The Child–Pugh score could stratify patients defined as low risk by MELD 3.0 (log-rank P < 0.001). Conclusions: The MELD 3.0 was significantly superior to the MELD, MELD-Na and FIPS scores in predicting mortality in patients with cirrhosis after TIPS creation.
