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
The physical decline of critically ill patients affects their discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) and their subsequent lives. Therefore, it is essential to actively provide rehabilitation at an early stage through multidisciplinary cooperation and protocols. This paper aims to describe the results of a project to improve the implementation rate of early rehabilitation. We established the ICU Early Rehabilitation Group, consisting of nurses, intensivists and physical therapists, and developed a protocol to perform early rehabilitation. According to this protocol, a nurse-led 'multidisciplinary rehabilitation huddle meeting' was introduced for early rehabilitation. Rehabilitation status, muscle strength and physical function were compared 9 months before and after the introduction of the huddle meeting. In addition, we assessed adverse events during rehabilitation. Since the introduction of huddle meetings, the implementation rate has been 100%. Furthermore, rehabilitation was implemented earlier and at a higher level after introducing huddle meetings. However, no significant difference was detected in muscle strength and physical function of the patients. In addition, no adverse events occurred during rehabilitation. This quality improvement project facilitated an earlier start to rehabilitation and a higher level of rehabilitation practice. Huddle meetings were smoothly introduced and settled in through multiprofessional communication. The lack of adverse events also suggested the programme's effectiveness in safely implementing this type of rehabilitation at an early and high level.
