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.

The Economic Burden of Diabetic Retinopathy in Jordan: Cost Analysis and Associated Factors
Introduction Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a type of microangiopathy caused by diabetes mellitus (DM). DR is a leading cause of vision impairment in 25–74 years
Article Description
BACKGROUND: To estimate the expenditures for diabetic retinopathy in the United States by Medicare. METHODS: Retrospective data analysis using the 1997 through 2004 5% Medicare claims data. A case control design was used; eligible beneficiaries were 65 or older and without major ophthalmic conditions (cataract, cataract surgery, and macular degeneration) during the study period. Controls had diabetes but no evidence of diabetic retinopathy. There were two diabetic retinopathy case groups: beneficiaries with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and beneficiaries with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Analyses quantified annual Medicare payments for case and control groups. RESULTS: A total of 178,383 controls, 33,735 NPDR cases, and 6,138 PDR cases were identified. After adjusting for age, sex, and race, annual average Medicare payments for all care were significantly higher for case groups compared to the control group, as were average payments for ophthalmic care only (all P < 0.0001). In addition, average payments for all care and for ophthalmic care were substantially higher for PDR cases compared to NPDR cases. CONCLUSION: These findings demonstrate substantial expenditures associated with diabetic retinopathy, and with PDR in particular, only part of which is due to ophthalmic care. Delaying progression may be associated with decreased Medicare expenditures. Copyright © by Ophthalmic Communications Society, Inc.
