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.

MRSA colonization common on intake at Chicago jail
Almost 20% of men entering a large Chicago jail during a recent 2-year period were positive for MRSA upon intake, researchers reported. Kyle J. Popovich, MD, MS, FIDSA, associate professor of infectious diseases at Rush University Medical Center, and colleagues explained in Clinical Infectious Diseases that community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) is a “significant pathogen” that may be more easily spr
Article Description
To investigate persistent carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), we conducted a prospective 10-month study of MRSA carriage in previous carriers who were readmitted to our hospital. Four screening specimens, 2 from the skin and 2 from the nares, were obtained within 3 days after admission, in addition to diagnostic specimens requested by physicians. Of the 78 patients included in our study, 31 (40%) were persistent carriers of MRSA, with an estimated median time of 8.5 months to MRSA clearance. In the multivariate analysis, the only factor significantly associated with persistent carriage was the presence of a break in the skin at readmission (odds ratio, 4.34; P = .004); however, a trend was found for admission from a chronic-care institution (odds ratio, 3.65; P = .06). Our data confirm that prolonged carriage of MRSA can occur after hospital discharge, support routine screening for MRSA at readmission of previously MRSA-positive patients, and suggest that a particularly high index of suspicion for MRSA carriage should be maintained if these patients have a break in the skin.
