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.

Study Data from Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Provide New Insights into Dysgeusia (Dysgeusia and paresthesia following suspension microlaryngoscopy: review and recommendations for risk reduction)

Article Description
Background: Dysgeusia or altered taste is a rare complication following suspension microlaryngoscopy with the incidence ranging from 2.9 to 12.1%. We report this with recommendations to avoid similar complications following suspension laryngoscopy, tonsillectomy, and tongue base surgery which require pressure to be placed on the tongue for better surgical field visualization. Case presentation: A 53-year-old man with underlying diabetes mellitus presented with long standing history of irritative cough, globus sensation, and evidence of laryngopharyngeal reflux. A left ventricle swelling was noted on flexible laryngoscopy and neck. He underwent direct laryngoscopy and biopsy of the left ventricle lesion which revealed to be acute on chronic inflammation. Day 1 postoperatively, patient complained of reduced sensation over left hemi-tongue. A referral to a neurologist was made for further examination and he was found to have loss of taste over anterior two-third of tongue and treated with vitamin B complex. To date, dysgeusia remains persistent. Patient relayed his grievances to the hospital following these complications. Review of literature on relevant topic was made through PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library Database by two reviewers, working independently. Twenty-three papers, available in full, written in English language, containing number of cases, type of surgery, and complications were extracted and studied. Conclusions: Risk of dysgeusia and paresthesia postoperatively should be informed during consent taking for all patients undergoing tonsillectomy, laryngeal microsurgery, and tongue base surgery. Zinc deficiency should be investigated in patients with persistent taste disturbance post-tonsillectomy. Intermittent release during suspension laryngoscopy beyond 30 min to reduce post-surgical complications. Greater care should be taken to reduce the amount of force during the suspension laryngoscopy due to smaller oral and oropharyngeal structure in female. Keeping close to the tonsillar capsule particularly in mid and lower pole areas should be done in tonsillectomy using diathermy dissection.
