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
There has been an increased interest in the potential metabolic derangements and acute complications of diabetes related to the Muslims’ fasting during the month of Ramadan. We compared the incidence of admissions due to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during Ramadan with the admissions during other months. This is a retrospective electronic database and chart review study that included all Muslims who were admitted with DKA to Sheikh Khalifa Medical City in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. We explored the relationship of admissions to Ramadan over ten years (2005–2014). There were 432 episodes of DKA involving 283 patients. Of these, 370 episodes (85.6%) involved 231 patients (81.6%) with type 1 diabetes. The number of admission episodes was not different during Ramadan from the average calendar month [3.6 ± 2.6 (Range 0–15) episodes/month versus 3.3 ± 2.1 (Range 1–7) episodes/month respectively, P = 0.77]. No recurrences of admissions were observed during Ramadan. There was a non-significant numerical tendency for more episodes in March and September (4.6 episodes for both) and fewer episodes in July (2.6 episodes) than other months; P values were 0.06; 0.13, and 0.32 respectively. This seasonality was not related to the month of Ramadan. The present study confirmed that DKA admissions during Ramadan were not significantly higher than the average monthly admissions over ten years. Seasonality trends were not related to Ramadan.
