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
Pseudotumor cerebri is a relatively common cause of headache. It has an incidence of 2.2 per 100,000 patients, approximately the same incidence as cluster headache. Also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension, pseudotumor cerebri is seen most frequently in overweight women between the ages of 20 and 45 years. An increased incidence of pseudotumor cerebri is also associated with pregnancy. The exact cause of pseudotumor cerebri has not been elucidated, but the common denominator appears to be a defect in the absorption of cerebrospinal fluid. Predisposing factors include ingestion of various medications including tetracycline, vitamin A, corticosteroids, and nalidixic acid. Other implicating factors include blood dyscrasias, anemias, endocrinopathies, and chronic respiratory insufficiency. In many patients, however, the exact cause of pseudotumor cerebri remains unknown.
