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
Aim To establish whether there is any association between passive smoking and pain perception in children, in the absence of existing studies into possible links. Methods This single-centre study focused on 100 children - 50 who had been exposed to passive smoking and 50 who had not - who were admitted to general polyclinics from September 2012 to December 2012 and needed venous catheterization. Patients with chronic diseases, neurologic and psychiatric illnesses, communication problems and analgesic use in the last 24 h were excluded. The passive smoking group had a mean age of 7.3 years (56% male) and the nonpassive smoking group had a mean age of 7.7 years (44% male). The main study parameter was the Wong-Baker faces pain rating scale (WBFPS) score during catheterization. Results There was a statistically significant difference between the pain perceptions of the 100 children studied and smoke exposure. The WBFPS scores of the 50 children who were passive smokers were significantly higher than the scores of the 50 who were not passive smokers (p = 0.00). Conclusion Passive smoking increases pain perception in children during invasive medical procedures. ©2013 Foundation Acta Pædiatrica. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
