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
A combination of cytoreductive intervention with the intrahepatic hyperthermic chemotherapy is a well-established treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis. There are many challenges in establishing a new peritoneal surface malignancy program in a low-income country regarding perioperative safety and resource allocation. We analyzed the retrospective database to determine the immediate surgical outcomes of the first 28 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and the impact of the program on allocation of general hospital and human resources. During the preparatory stage, web conferences with international experts established the goals and general requirements of the program, formalized in a written document; and a peritoneal surface malignancy multidisciplinary team was established. The team created the patient selection criteria, perioperative management checklists, and suggested material and staff requirements for surgical and anesthesia services. Twenty-nine cytoreduction were carried out, of which 18 were followed by HIPEC. The average operative time was 6.2 h. The median blood loss was 350 mL, which did not result in additional blood transfusion requirements for the blood bank. No additional nursing and supportive staff were provided for the ICU and the surgical unit. The average postoperative stay was 8.7 days. One patient died with 30-day mortality rate of 3%. Ten patients (34.5%) developed postoperative complications, of which 6 (20.6%) had grade III and higher Clavien-Dindo complications. Establishing a peritoneal surface malignancy program is possible via staged planning, liberal use of international mentors, and thoughtful resource allocation. This new program did not result in a significant redistribution of resources among other service lines of cancer care within the same institution.
