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
Demographic and clinical characteristics of Familial Multiple Sclerosis (FMS) have not been fully investigated yet in Abu Dhabi. The aim of this single center exploratory study was to investigate demographic and clinical characteristics of FMS compared to sporadic MS (SMS) in Abu Dhabi. A chart review single center study was conducted in 98 patients with MS. Group comparisons were performed using Mann-Whitney and Chi-Square tests as appropriate. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. 24.5% were patients with FMS and 83% were Emirates. No significant differences in demographic and clinical characteristics were found between patients with FMS and SMS in overall all MS patients and in the Emirati group analyzed alone. Patients with FMS did not differ in demographic and clinical characteristics compared to patients with SMS. Further prospective studies are needed to elucidate environmental and genetic risk factors contributing to FMS in the Emirati population.
