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.

Review Description
Odontogenic descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is a rare but sometimes fatal complication of tooth infections. The mortality rate remains high, up to 40%, and there is no consensus on optimal workup and management currently. This review aims to summarize cases of odontogenic DNM in the literature to optimize management strategies and aid physicians in its early recognition. A systematic review of the Ovid Medline, EMBASE Classic and Pubmed databases was conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Original research studies reporting an odontogenic etiology of DNM were included. Our search identified 226 articles. Final inclusion consisted of 60 studies describing 204 cases. Most patients were male (80.4%) with a mean age of 47.64 ± 15.96 years old. Patients primarily presented with edema (57.7%), fever (42.3%), trismus (37.2%), dyspnea, (26.9%), dysphagia (26.9%). Common radiologic findings were abscesses or fluid collection in the mediastinum (53.1%), air in the soft tissues (50.0%), pleural effusion or empyema (37.5%), mediastinal widening (32.8%), and pericardial effusion (7.8%). Patients were treated with intravenous antibiotics and a variety of surgical techniques such as cervicotomy only (51.2%), thoracotomy only (15.9%), cervicotomy and chest tube (3.5%). The mortality rate was 14.2% with a mean length of hospital stay of 30.1 ± 20.2 days. This systematic review reports and analyzes epidemiological, clinical and treatment-related data regarding patients with odontogenic DNM. Effective disease recognition and patient-specific targeted treatment are needed to ensure treatment success. Further research is needed to promote implementation of such data into clinical practice, with potential to reduce the associated mortality rate.
