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
Background/Aims: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic condition most commonly characterized by the presence of dermal neurofibromas and café au lait macules, has a significant impact upon quality of life (QoL). The study aimed to assess the impact of NF1 on QoL. Methods: A total of 129 patients with NF1 completed the study questionnaires in an Italian academic dermatological centre and a neurofibromatosis clinic at the University of Rome. Results: All domains of general-health-related QoL were affected.Patients with serious cosmetic problemsreported a greater impact on the emotional domain. Conclusion: In our study, the impact of the cosmetic features on QoL had the greatest importance. This survey demonstrates the usefulness of QoL measurements in supplementing clinical assessments.
