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
Sepsis and hospital acquired infections (HAI’s) are considered major public health risks and leading causes of death in hospitalized patients. These HAI’s may be preventable if addressed with bundled care processes, which are felt to be powerful drivers for improving the reliability of delivery of evidence-based care to impact patient outcomes. In addition to HAI, much attention has now been shifted to delirium and sedation practices in ICUs, with recent data showing the untoward effects of delirium with regards to increased ICU lengths of stay, costs, mortality and long-term cognitive impairment, and the realization that our sedation practices may in part contribute to this delirium.
