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.

Review Description
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a commonly used approach for managing many complications of portal hypertension. It is an attractive option due to its relative ease of creation (> 90% success rate) and the availability at most hospitals of an interventional radiologist capable of performing the procedure. TIPS is the preferred approach to control acutely bleeding esophageal or gastric varices that cannot be controlled with medical management. It is also now preferred to surgical shunts for preventing rebleeding in patients who rebleed despite adequate medical management. TIPS is more effective than large-volume paracentesis in controlling refractory cirrhotic ascites, with possibly a slight survival benefit but also increased encephalopathy. TIPS should be used to control refractory ascites in patients who cannot be managed with large-volume paracentesis. The role of TIPS in the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome is unclear; currently only patients with type 2 hepatorenal syndrome should be considered candidates for TIPS. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2008.
