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
BACKGROUND: Starting subcutaneous insulin doses in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes vary widely from 0.2 units/kg/day to 0.8 units/kg/day. AIM: To determine whether there are correlations between starting insulin dose and diabetes-related outcomes. METHODS: By reviewing the charts of children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the prevalence of hypoglycemia in the first 48 h was compared between those who received low (0.5 units/kg/day or less) and those who received high (greater than 0.5 units/kg/day) starting insulin doses. RESULTS: Forty-two children were initially prescribed a low dose of insulin, and 55 children were given a high dose. Approximately onethird of children (36.4%) younger than six years of age who received a high starting dose of insulin had mild hypoglycemia within 48 h of subcutaneous insulin initiation, compared with 16.0% of children six to 10 years of age and 5.3% of children older than 10 years of age. CONCLUSIONS: Hypoglycemia was not more frequent among children given high-insulin starting doses. However, children younger than six years of age remained at increased risk for hypoglycemia. ©2010 Pulsus Group Inc. All rights reserved.
