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
Context: The optimal measure of vitamin D status is unknown. Objective: To directly measure circulating free 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and relationships to total 25(OH)D in a clinically diverse sample of humans. Design: Cross-sectional analysis. Setting: Seven academic sites. Patients: A total of 1661 adults: healthy (n = 279), prediabetic (n = 479), outpatients (n = 714), cirrhotic (n = 90), pregnant (n = 20), nursing home resident (n = 79). Interventions: Merge research data on circulating free 25(OH)D (directly-measured immunoassay), total 25(OH)D (liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry), D-binding protein [DBP; by radial (polyclonal) immunodiffusion assay], albumin, creatinine, intact parathyroid hormone, and DBP haplotype. Main outcome measures: Distribution of free 25(OH)D (ANOVA with Bonferroni correction for post hoc comparisons) and relationships between free and total 25(OH)D (mixed-effects modeling incorporating clinical condition, DBP haplotype with sex, race, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), body mass index (BMI), and other covariates). Results: Free 25(OH)D was 4.7 ± 1.8 pg/mL (mean ± SD) in healthy persons and 4.3 ± 1.9 pg/mL in outpatients, with levels of 0.5 to 8.1 pg/mL and 0.9 to 8.1 pg/mL encompassing 95% of healthy persons and outpatients, respectively. Free 25(OH)D was higher in patients with cirrhosis (7.1 ± 3.0 pg/mL; P < 0.0033) and nursing home residents (7.9 ± 2.1 pg/mL; P < 0.0033) than in other groups and differed between whites and blacks (P < 0.0033) and between DBP haplotypes (P < 0.0001). Mixed-effects modeling of relationships between free and total 25(OH)D identified clinical conditions (patients with cirrhosis . nursing home residents . patients with prediabetes . outpatients . pregnant women) and BMI (lesser effect) as covariates affecting relationships but not eGFR, sex, race, or DBP haplotype. Conclusions: Total 25(OH)D, health condition, race, and DBP haplotype affected free 25(OH)D, but only health conditions and BMI affected relationships between total and free 25(OH)D. Clinical importance of free 25(OH)D needs to be established in studies assessing outcomes.
