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
• Based on strong research evidence, thyroid nodules in children and teenagers are more likely to be malignant than in adults. • Based on strong research evidence, a history of ionizing radiation to the head or neck is an independent risk factor for the development of thyroid malignancies. • There is strong research evidence, including a recent meta-analysis, (9) supporting the use of fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the evaluation of all pediatric and adolescent patients presenting with a thyroid nodule. • The surgical management and postoperative care of pediatric and adolescent patients who have well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas remains controversial, because the rarity of the disease limits the ability to conduct randomized, prospective research studies. • Numerous studies have demonstrated that, despite presenting with more advanced disease, pediatric and adolescent patients with thyroid carcinoma have a higher survival rate than adults. • The American Thyroid Association has issued strong evidence-based recommendations for the management of medullary thyroid carcinoma, including RET mutation testing and early prophylactic total thyroidectomy in children with high-risk mutations.
