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.

Article Description
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2% topical propranolol cream in the treatment of proliferating infantile strawberry hemangiomas. Methods: A total of 40 infants were enrolled; 2% propranolol cream was applied three times daily. In the subsequent monthly visit, dynamic changes in tumor size, texture, and color were recorded. The adverse events (AEs) were observed. Treatment outcomes were scored on a four-point scale. All patients were followed up for 12 mo after treatment. Results: The overall response was graded Scale 1 (poor response) in 2 patients, Scale 2 (moderate response) in 15 patients, Scale 3 (good response) in 17 patients, and Scale 4 (excellent response) in 6 patients. No significant differences were seen in treatment outcomes between female and male patients, among lesion locations/size, or in the age at the start of the treatment. No obvious AEs were reported. Conclusions: 2% topical propranolol cream is safe and effective for the treatment of proliferating infantile strawberry hemangiomas.
