Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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
There are eight different genotypes named A-H. Genotypes have distinct geographic distribution in different regions of the world. There exists a difference in the disease profile between different genotypes. Genotype A compared with D, and B compared with C have earlier hepatitis B e-antigen seroconversion and less severe liver disease. However, genotypes are closely linked with core promoter and precore mutations. This may have a confounding effect on the association of genotypes with disease progression. Patients with genotype A compared with D and B compared with C have a better treatment response to IFN-alpha. However, there are no differences in the treatment response and rate of emergence of drug-resistant hepatitis B virus between different genotypes to nucleoside/nucleotide analog therapy.
