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.

Insurance Status Influences Overall Survival in Follicular Lymphoma
Outcomes data demonstrated the impact of socioeconomic status and insurance coverage on outcomes for patients with follicular lymphoma by age (younger than 65 and 65 and older).
Article Description
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma and most common indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Lower socioeconomic status is associated with poor outcomes in FL, suggesting that access to care is an important prognostic factor; however, the association between insurance status and FL survival has not been sufficiently examined. The National Cancer Database, a nationwide cancer registry, was used to evaluate 43 648 patients with FL diagnosed between 2004 and 2014. All analyses were performed on 2 cohorts segmented at age 65 years to account for changes in insurance status with Medicare eligibility. Cox proportional hazard models calculated hazard ratios (HRs) with confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between insurance status and overall survival (OS) controlling for the available sociodemographic and prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier curves display outcomes by insurance status for patients covered by private insurance, no insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. When compared with patients younger than age 65 years with private insurance, patients younger than age 65 years with no insurance (HR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.69-2.28), with Medicaid (HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.57-2.12), and with Medicare (HR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.71-2.24) had significantly worse OS after adjusting for sociodemographic and prognostic factors. Compared with patients age 65 years or older with private insurance, those with Medicare only (HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.17-1.4) had significantly worse OS. For adults with FL, expanding access to care through insurance has the potential to improve outcomes.
