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
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly prevalent disorder in males that increases markedly with aging. Diagnostic and treatment approaches for the disorder have proliferated in the past decade, along with increased understanding of the underlying physiology of male erection. Two specific themes have emerged in the recent literature on the topic: 1.(a) erectile dysfunction is a socially legitimate, medically treatable problem2.(b) medical treatments are more reliable and effective than psychological interventions. This article reviews the efficacy and outcome data available for each of the major treatment approaches for ED, in addition to the risks and benefits associated with each approach. A variety of methodological issues are identified, including the lack of prospective study designs, inadequate assessment of sexual function, absence of long-term follow-up, and lack of attention to interactive effects of medical and psychological treatments. Although less widely publicized, cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal treatment approaches have been shown to be effective in a number of studies. Overall, there is a strong need for integration of medical and psychological approaches, in addition to increased outcome research in this area.
