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
Hypoventilation disorders can occur due to impairment in central ventilatory control, mechanical restrictions to breathing, gas exchange abnormalities from increased dead space, and ventilation-perfusion mismatch. Central hypoventilation disorders are rare in infants but have resultant deleterious effects when left untreated. Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome involves a genetically determined defect in central respiratory control. Other conditions such as rapid-onset obesity, hypoventilation, hypothalamic dysregulation, and autonomic dysfunction do not have an identifiable genetic etiology, and diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation. Considering the immaturity of the respiratory system in children, treatment of ventilation disorders can be challenging. Prompt diagnosis and management with a multidisciplinary team can, however, be life-altering. This chapter reviews congenital central hypoventilation syndrome and some of the other disorders of ventilation in infants and children.
