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.

Article Description
Sport-related concussion (SRC) prevention and management is a focus of the National Football League (NFL). While most prior reports evaluated sport-related concussion incidence, few have studied same-year repeat concussions. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of same-year repeat concussions in the NFL. A retrospective, observational cohort study of same-year repeat concussions in the NFL from 2015 to 2019 was performed. The NFL's electronic health record was reviewed for players sustaining concussions and same-year repeat concussions. Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to calculate same-year repeat concussion rates, and risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using log-binomial regression. From 2015 to 2019, the risk of sustaining a same-year repeat concussion in the NFL was 0.38%–0.69% per season. Among players who sustained a concussion, the risk of a same-year repeat concussion was 5.3%–8.3%, which did not differ significantly from the risk of sustaining a single concussion (6.2%–8.3%). There was a median of 38 participation days between initial and same-year repeat concussion. Players missed more time from same-year repeat concussions (median 12 days) compared with both single (median 9 days; P < 0.0001) and initial (median 9.5 days; P = 0.002) concussions. The risk of a repeat concussion was similar to the risk of sustaining a single concussion among NFL players. More time was missed following a same-year repeat concussion compared with single or initial concussions. Further research is needed to maximize player safety and minimize same-year repeat concussions.
