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
To explore the association between semen parameters and spontaneous pregnancy. Case–control study. Aberdeen Fertility Centre, Aberdeen, Scotland. A total of 1,426 untreated couples attending a subfertility clinic with no evidence of azoospermia, anovulation, or tubal disease were observed for 180 weeks. “Cases” were couples who achieved conception spontaneously within the follow-up period; controls were those who did not. None. Sperm density, sperm motility, and sperm morphology. In women who achieved spontaneous conception (n = 488) the mean (SD) age was 30.6 (4.8) years and median (interquartile range) parity was 1 (0–1), compared with 32.0 (5.4) years and 1 (0–1) in those who did not (n = 938). The median (interquartile range) duration of infertility was 24 (17–36) and 18 (14–24) months in nonpregnant and pregnant couples, respectively. After adjusting for male and female age, parity, year of first visit, and duration of infertility, sperm motility and normal morphology were significantly associated with spontaneous pregnancy, whereas sperm density was not. For motility, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.545 (95% confidence interval 0.514–0.577). For morphology, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.565 (95% confidence interval 0.534–0.597). In subfertile couples, sperm motility and morphology have limited predictive value for spontaneous conception.
