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
The Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit (DSAA) is a nationwide mandatory quality registry that evaluates the perioperative outcomes of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The DSAA includes perioperative outcomes that occur up to 30 days, but various complications following AAA repair occur after this period. Administrative healthcare data yield the possibility to evaluate later occuring outcomes such as reinterventions, without increasing the registration burden. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and the potential benefit of administrative healthcare data to evaluate mid-term reinterventions following intact AAA repair. All patients that underwent primary endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or open surgical repair (OSR) for an intact infrarenal AAA between January 2017 and December 2018 were selected from the DSAA. Subsequently, these patients were identified in a database containing reimbursement data. Healthcare activity codes that refer to reinterventions following AAA repair were examined to assess reinterventions within 12 and 15 months following EVAR and OSR. We selected 4043 patients from the DSAA, and 2059 (51%) patients could be identified in the administrative healthcare database. Reintervention rates of 10.4% following EVAR and 9.5% following OSR within 12 months (p = 0.719), and 11.5% following EVAR and 10.8% following OSR within 15 months (p = 0.785) were reported. Administrative healthcare data as an addition to the DSAA is potentially beneficial to evaluate mid-term reinterventions following intact AAA repair without increasing the registration burden for clinicians. Further validation is necessary before reliable implementation of this tool is warranted.
