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
Sexual dysfunction (SD) is common in patients with schizophrenia. In this study, we examined the prevalence and correlates of SD in a sample of patients with first-episode schizophrenia spectrum disorders (FES) (n = 77). Sexual functioning was examined using the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale. Clinical measures of interest included the duration of untreated psychosis, psychopathology, depressive symptoms, functionality, and quality of life. Biochemical testing was also performed to measure prolactin, lipid profiles, and fasting glucose levels. In total, 27 (35%) patients met the criteria for SD, which was significantly more prevalent in females than in males (p = 0.027). Higher depression scores, poorer social and occupational functioning, and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels predicted overall SD. Female sex, more pronounced global psychopathology, and poorer quality of life were also predictors of domain-specific SD, adjusting for the extent of antipsychotic exposure. In conclusion, SD has a high prevalence in patients with FES, particularly females. There is a need for a more nuanced understanding of SD in recent-onset schizophrenia, and to establish its relevance in terms of comorbid depressive symptoms and poor quality of life. SD may require specific attention and tailored treatment in females with FES.
