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
Background Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has been considered a relatively rare disease in Asia, including Japan, where there is a high frequency of infection with hepatitis viruses. Method We reviewd the ethnic differences of clinical features of autoimmume hepatitis by reported paper. Result Immunogenetic predisposition, especially differences in human leukocyte antigens (HLAs), has been pointed out as one of the factors for the occurrence of AIH. In other words, HLA-DR3, which is the first disease-susceptibility gene for AIH discovered in UK and the USA, is extremely rare in Asia including Japan. Moreover, HLADR4, which is more frequent than HLA-DR3 in Asia, is associated with a favorable response to treatment and improved prognosis. This also explains why diagnosis and treatment of AIH have not drawn as much attention as viral hepatitis. However, as a survey conducted in Japan shows, the number of patients diagnosed with AIH is increasing. However, the number of elderly patients positive for HLADR4 is also increasing in UK and the USA. Conclusion In the era of genome-wide association studies, further progress of studies on AIH, a typical disease model for immunological liver cell damage, is expected.© 2011 Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver.
