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
OBJECTIVES: Serum disialotransferrin is a specific marker of heavy alcohol consumption. We tested its accuracy and probability in detecting alcoholic cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS: Blood samples from 271 consecutive AP patients, admitted to the Helsinki University Central Hospital emergency unit, were analyzed. RESULTS: The median (range) disialotransferrin value was significantly higher (P = 0.001) in AP patients with alcoholic (n = 172) 1.6% (0.3%-14.4) than with biliary (n = 60) 0.7% (0.3%-1.3%) or other causes (n = 39) 0.8% (0.3%-4.1%). In receiver operating curve analysis, disialotransferrin, as a single analyte, was significantly (P = 0.001-0.0001) more accurate (area under the curve [AUC], 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84-0.92) in detecting alcoholic AP as compared with glutamyl transferase (AUC, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.45-0.57), aspartate aminotransferase (AUC, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.51-0.63), alanine aminotransferase (AUC, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.57-0.69), erythrocyte mean cell volume (AUC, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.67-0.78), amylase (AUC, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.67-0.78), C-reactive protein (AUC, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.59-0.71), and bilirubin (AUC, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.49-0.62). At a disialotransferrin cutoff of 1.2%, giving an 8% false-positive rate, the positive likelihood ratio was 8.47. Thus, a positive disialotransferrin test result, performed within 24 hours of admission, increased the probability of alcoholic AP from pretest 64% to posttest 94%. CONCLUSIONS: Disialotransferrin, determined by capillary electrophoresis, is accurate, simple, and a rapid single biomarker of the alcoholic cause of AP. © 2007 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
