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
In 12 years (1958–69) 38 patients with homozygous sickle‐cell anaemia (SS) were studied during the course of 61 pregnancies. Maternal prognosis was poor, with 7 deaths. The causes of mortality and morbidity were severe anaemia, acute sequestration, bacterial infections, bone pain crises, and bone marrow embolism. The proportion of these patients requiring operative deliveries was high chiefly because of fetopelvic disproportion from generally contracted pelvis. For obstetric operations various types of anaesthesia were used with excellent results, provided gross anaemia was corrected and hypoxia was avoided. When bone pain crises occurred during late pregnancy, labour and in the early puerperium, heparinization and blood transfusions were freely used. Fertility was reduced in these women, and both the spontaneous abortion rate and fetal wastage were at least twice as high as they were in the general population. The average birthweight of the babies was comparatively low, for no obvious reasons. Copyright © 1972, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
