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
The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reported that over 40% of the US population is overweight. The average weight loss attained by medical management programs is neither sufficient nor durable enough to treat medically complicated obesity. An estimated 220,000 bariatric procedures are performed yearly in the USA and Canada. The divided Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is performed most commonly in these countries and is considered the gold standard bariatric surgical procedure. The complexity of RYGB means that serious and potentially preventable perioperative complications can occur. RYGB alters the normal anatomy and physiology of the upper gut, which has predictable adverse effects and potential complications. Patients seek advice and care for symptoms that develop or persist after RYGB; although some symptoms are expected and predictable, others are complications that may or may not require active medical or surgical intervention. Physicians should be able to predict and manage most postoperative medical and nutritional disorders related to RYGB and should be prepared to assess patients for potential referral for surgical intervention or revision. © 2010 Macmillan Publishers Limited.
