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.

The effect of zoledronic acid on hip geometry in renal transplant recipients: a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized study
Abstract Background In renal transplant patients, bisphosphonates may prevent bone loss, but little is known about their effects on bone microarchitecture and geometrical hip parameters,
Article Description
BACKGROUND.: Although it is known that the incidence of fracture events is increased in renal transplantation recipients, the timing and the factors associated with risk of fractures are less well understood. The objective of this study was to estimate the time to fracture in renal transplantation recipients and to determine whether risk was associated with patient and transplantation characteristics. METHODS.: Using the U. S. Renal Data System, we retrospectively studied 68,814 patients, who underwent renal transplantation between 1988 and 1998. Fractures were identified from International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes in billing data. Time to first fracture was modeled during the first 5 years posttransplant using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS.: Of the patients who underwent transplantation, 22.5% developed a fracture within 5 years. Woman (hazard ratio [HR] 1.36, P<0.0001), patients older than 45 years of age (HR 1.14, P<0.0001) especially older than 65 years (HR 1.69, P<0.0001), and whites (HR 1.28, P<0.0001) were at increased risk of a fracture. Additionally, receipt of a deceased donor kidney (HR 1.30, P<0.0001), increased human leukocyte antigen mismatches (HR 1.09, P<0.014), diabetes (HR 1.88, P<0.0001), pretransplant dialysis (HR 1.08, P<0.0001), and an aggressive induction immunosuppression regimen (HR 1.14, P<0.0001) all significantly increased risk of fracture events during the first 5 years. CONCLUSIONS.: In addition to patient demographic features, donor factors, including suboptimal organ quality and the need for more intense immunosuppression, were associated with an increased risk of fractures during the first 5 years after a renal transplant. © 2009 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
