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
The fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii) causes Pneumocystis Pneumonia (PCP) in immunosuppressed patients, most frequently in HIV patients. More recently, the number of PCP cases in transplant patients and patients with immunosuppressive disorders or therapy has markedly increased. P. jirovecii is routinely diagnosed using different staining methods, which are less sensitive than molecular approaches. Using PCR-based methods, the sensitivity exceeds 95%. Distinct PCR methods may also be used for resistance testing or the detection of transmission routes between patients. © 2008 by Walter de Gruyter.
