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
Malaria continues to be a major cause of mortality and morbidity in tropical countries. Infection with Plasmodium falciparum may be asymptomatic, cause an uncomplicated febrile illness or give rise to severe disease complicated by coma, acidosis or severe anemia. Treatment of the febrile illness with two drugs - preferably in the form of an artemisinin-containing combination therapy - is now widely recommended, both for greater efficacy and in order to delay the evolution of drug resistance. The clinical picture of severe malaria differs according to the age and immune status of the individual; treatment requires a range of supportive measures, as well as an efficacious antimalarial drug. Insecticide-treated bednets and presumptive treatment programs are increasingly deployed in malaria control programs, while vaccines are showing promise. © 2007 Future Drugs Ltd.
