Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Great North Children's Hospital Reports Findings in Pediatrics (Emergency scrotal exploration in children: Following a change in mindset in the UK)

Article Description
A survey of 200 emergency scrotal explorations done over four paediatric surgical centres in the UK revealed that the incidence of finding testicular torsion (TT) was 24% and the preoperative utilisation of Doppler ultrasound (DUS) was 10% [1]. We changed our practice to include better preoperative utilisation of a clinical risk score (TWIST) and DUS. This led to a significant increase in the incidence of finding TT from 18% to 53%. Obtaining a DUS did not lead to an increase in our orchidectomy rate. Adopting this change is possible in an NHS setting and it has significant clinical and economic benefits.
