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
Summary : FRAX is a tool based on questions that identifies persons at risk of fragility fractures. We interviewed patients about their thoughts on doing FRAX in a dental setting. They were generally positive but had some concerns that need to be considered before introducing FRAX in a dental setting. Purpose: To investigate patients’ thoughts about assessing the risk of fragility fractures using the FRAX tool in a dental setting. Sweden has a high incidence of fragility fractures, but many of these are preventable. The most common method for identifying persons with a high risk of sustaining fragility fractures is FRAX, a validated instrument for assessing the risk of suffering fragility fractures within 10 years. In the Nordic countries, most of the adult population has regular contact with their dentist, which could be useful in identifying high-risk individuals. Methods: A qualitative inductive approach to content analysis, with individual semi-structured interviews, was used. Seven women and three men, aged 65–75 years, were interviewed and assessed with FRAX. Results: An overarching theme was that patients considered a FRAX assessment in the dental setting a good service but doubted that the dentists would have the interest, time, and knowledge to do it. The patients had little knowledge and experience of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. They were positive towards assessing the fracture risk with the FRAX instrument. If they were found to have a high fracture risk, they expected the dentist to send a referral for further investigation and to collaborate in the risk assessment with their family physician. They thought risk assessment in a dental context would be a good service if the fee was the same as that in primary care. Conclusion: Most participants were positive about having FRAX and other health assessments done in the dental clinic, but this study shows that patients have concerns that need to be addressed before introducing FRAX in this context.
