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.

Review Description
Background. Maternal symptoms such as severe headache, nausea and vomiting, visual disturbances and epigastric pain have been associated with complications in women with preeclampsia. Objective. To determine the accuracy of maternal symptoms in predicting complications in women with preeclampsia by systematic review. Data Sources. We searched MEDLINE (1951-2010), EMBASE (1980-2010), the Cochrane Library (2009) and the MEDION database. Methods of Study Selection. Studies which evaluated the accuracy of symptoms in women with preeclampsia for predicting complications were selected in a two-stage process. Information was extracted by two independent reviewers. We summarized accuracy with a bivariate model estimating sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve. Results. Six primary articles with 2573 women were included. The area under the curve for predicting complications for headache, epigastric pain and visual disturbances was 0.58 (95%CI 0.24-0.86), 0.70 (95%CI 0.30-0.93) and 0.74 (95%CI 0.33-0.94). The sensitivity and specificity of the symptoms in predicting adverse maternal outcomes were respectively as follows: headache 0.54 (95%CI 0.27-0.79) and 0.59 (95%CI 0.38-0.76); epigastric pain 0.34 (95%CI 0.22-0.5) and 0.83 (95%CI 0.76-0.89); visual disturbances 0.27 (95%CI 0.07-0.65) and 0.81 (95%CI 0.71, 0.88); nausea and vomiting 0.24 (95%CI 0.21, 0.27) and 0.87 (95%CI 0.85, 0.89). Conclusion. The presence of symptoms is more useful in predicting complications in preeclampsia compared to their absence in excluding adverse events. © 2011 Nordic Federation of Societies of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
