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.

Case Description
Red imported fire ants (RIFA) are a major economic pest in the southeastern United States. RIFA belong to the Solenopsis species. RIFA bites result in the release of Hymenoptera venom, which causes a painful skin reaction and a potential for anaphylaxis. Clinicians need to be able to rapidly identify any signs of respiratory distress or shock symptoms in these patients. This case reviews the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options for a patient who experiences this insect bite. There have been no prior cases documenting atrial fibrillation in association with RIFA. A wearable device enabled rapid detection of the arrhythmic episodes that occurred after the bites. The case demonstrates the significance of cross-reactions between RIFA and yellowjacket stings and how wearable technology can provide additional information to assist in patient care.
