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
Severe heatstroke is often complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The aim of this study was to evaluate platelet function assessed through thromboelastography (TEG) at the emergency department (ED) and DIC severity among patients with heatstroke. We performed a retrospective single-tertiary hospital cohort study. Patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with heatstroke were enrolled. Platelet function was evaluated as the difference between citrated functional fibrinogen-maximum amplitude (CFF-MA) and citrated rapid TEG-maximum amplitude (CRT-MA) at the ED. DIC was defined as a score ≥ 4 points based on the Japanese Association of Acute Medicine score. A total of 31 patients with heatstroke were enrolled. The median platelet count was 18.1 × 10 4 /μL, (interquartile range [IQR]: 12.6–25.0 × 10 4 /μL), and the median platelet function evaluated as CFF-MA-CRT-MA was 34.4 mm (IQR: 27.8–37.8 mm). Among several clinical and TEG-related parameters, the platelet function was strongly correlated with the DIC score ( R = −0.63, p < 0.001) and significantly associated with DIC development (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.87 [95 % confidence interval: 0.72–0.99]). These results suggested that platelet dysfunction occurs in heatstroke-induced DIC, indicating that platelet function evaluation by TEG can provide complementary information and enhance our understanding about the subtypes of heatstroke.
