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.

Review Description
Dialysis access represents a lifeline for the patient with chronic kidney disease requiring renal replacement therapy. The gold standard is well recognized as the autogenous arterio-venous fistula. The surveillance and maintenance of access is therefore crucial to avoid access failure and subsequent morbidity, particularly through central venous catheterization. Ultrasound examination should involve a review of the clinical history and both physical and sonographic assessment. The interpretation of the acquired information can lead to accurate diagnosis and instigate timely and appropriate treatment of malfunctioning access. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to describe the complete evaluation of a dialysis access and review the findings associated with the most common pathologies.
