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
Differing from the overall consumption of alcohol, whether consuming large quantities of alcohol per drinking occasion is associated with higher risk of developing severe diabetic retinopathy remains unknown. We examined whether the quantity per drinking occasion (QPO), including a large QPO, and the combinations of the frequency of alcohol consumption (FAC) and QPO were associated with higher risk of developing severe diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema (DME) using adjusted Cox models. Severe diabetic retinopathy or DME was designated as a vision-threatening treatment-required diabetic eye disease (TRDED). For each man with type 2 diabetes who participated in this longitudinal retrospective cohort study, the date of the earliest health check-up during the inclusion period (April 2008 to August 2016) was set as the start date of follow-up. A TRDED was observed in 425 of 21,392 Japanese men aged 22–74 years with type 2 diabetes during a mean follow-up of 4.3 years (4.6/1000 person-years). Multivariable Cox analysis showed that a large QPO, defined as drinking three drinks or more per occasion, in low- (hazard ratio [HR], 4.76; 95 % CI, 2.06–10.97), intermediate- (HR, 1.58; 95 %CI, 1.001−2.50), and high-frequency categories (HR, 2.01; 95 % CI, 1.20–3.36) was significantly associated with elevated risks of TRDED. In addition to the total amount of ethanol, these findings imply the necessity of avoiding the consumption of large amounts of alcohol on a single occasion to prevent severe diabetic retinopathy or DME.
