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.

Case Description
A 55-year-old woman with a medical history of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) complicated by recurrent nosebleeds, severe blood loss anemia, hepatic arterial-venous malformation (AVM), pulmonary hypertension, and severe tricuspid regurgitation presented to the HHT specialty clinic with acute hypoxic respiratory failure (new 3-L O 2 requirement), weight gain, and volume overload. She was directly admitted to the pulmonary hypertension unit of our hospital. She had two recent admissions for similar symptoms thought to be due to worsening pulmonary arterial hypertension. In prior admissions, she had undergone right heart catheterization demonstrating mild pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary arterial pressure, 29 mm Hg, cardiac output by Fick 5.76, and cardiac index 3.22, mildly elevated pulmonary vascular resistance to 5.5 woods units). She would undergo diuresis with symptomatic improvement; however, after discharge she would rapidly develop recurrent heart failure symptoms. She reported compliance with guideline-directed medications, diuretics, and dietary restrictions and was still suffering severe symptoms. Notably she had previously elevated liver enzymes concerning for cirrhosis and had begun a workup to evaluate for causes of cirrhosis; she had a history of mild alcohol use, negative hepatitis viral serology, and no known history of liver disease.
