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
Aim: To assess the neonatal morbidity of alternative modes of delivery using economic data. Methods: Two groups of neonatal morbidity data were extracted according to mode of delivery from inpatient claims on National Health Insurance in Taiwan: uncomplicated vaginal and caesarean section deliveries. Outcome variables included number of infants treated as inpatients, duration of hospital stay, and hospital charge during both the first month and the first year of age. Results: Uncomplicated caesarean section delivery of term infants carried a significant increase either in the first month of life or during the first year after birth in both duration of hospital stay and hospital discharge when compared with uncomplicated vaginal delivery. Neonatal jaundice accounted for the greatest morbidity among term newborns, irrespective of delivery mode, followed by infectious, gastrointestinal and respiratory morbidity. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that uncomplicated vaginal delivery was associated with skin diseases. Uncomplicated caesarean section delivery was associated with infectious disease and disease of the respiratory, digestive and circulatory systems. Conclusion: The findings of this study may provide further information for clinicians and would be an important consideration when advising pregnant women on the preferred route of delivery. © 2006 Taylor & Francis.
