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
Clinical implications of the initial echocardiographic characteristics of pericardial effusion (PE) have not been clearly demonstrated. We sought to evaluate the clinical significance of echogenic materials in PE. Echocardiographic evaluation was performed in consecutive 178 patients with moderate to severe PE, and the etiology of PE was determined by clinical and pathologic studies. Echocardiography was repeated for 46 ± 56 weeks. Echo-free PE was shown in 142 patients (80%, group A), while echogenic PE was found in 36 patients (20%, group B). In group B, intrapericardial fibrinous strands and/or exudative frond-like materials were detected in 29 patients and diffuse echogenic PE was shown in 7 patients. The prevalence of echogenic PE was the highest in tuberculosis (56.3%). All 49 patients with uremia or congestive heart failure showed clear echo-free PE. During the follow-up, the incidence of constrictive pericarditis and recurrent PE were highest in malignancy (38.6%) and tuberculosis (31.3%), respectively. The incidence of constrictive pericarditis (3.5 vs. 27.8%, p < 0.001) and recurrent PE (9.2 vs. 22.2%, p < 0.05) were significantly lower in group A than group B. The echogenic PE was the major independent predictor of the events by multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis ( p < 0.01), regardless of the PE etiology. Echogenic materials in PE predict pericardial complications such as recurrence and constrictive pericarditis, irrespective of underlying diseases.
