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
A previous study on the nephrotic syndrome (NS) in our unit showed that the histological patterns associated with steroid resistance were more common in children over 5 years of age. Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of steroid-responsiveness amongst nephrotic children ≤ 5 years. Subjects and methods: All children with NS aged ≤ 5 years at the onset of disease presenting to University College Hospital, Ibadan were enrolled. Prednisolone was given daily, 60 mg/m, for 4 weeks and then 40 mg/m on alternate days for at least 12 weeks. Results: Twenty children (9 boys and 11 girls) were enrolled between 1999 and 2002. The median age (range) at onset of disease was 4 (2-5) years. Remission was achieved in 12 (60%) children. Conclusion: There is a satisfactory response to prednisolone in two-thirds of Nigerian children aged ≤ 5 years with NS. © 2005 The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
