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.

Book Chapter Description
Giant cell arteritis (GCA), also known as temporal arteritis or cranial arteritis, is a common form of systemic vasculitis involving large and medium-sized arteries. Cellular infitrate includes lymphocytes, macrophages and multinucleated giant cells. Common symptoms include headache, neck pain and scalp tenderness. Diagnosis includes temporal artery biopsy and blood flow studies with fluorescein angiography. Immediate treatment with corticosteroids is essential to avoid blindness and minimize ischemic complications.
