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.

Article Description
Sleep apnoea, a breathing disorder consisting of complete pauses or partial decreases in breathing during sleep, is often associated with snoring and daytime sleepiness. Obstructive sleep apnoea is usually caused by upper airway obstruction. Less common is central sleep apnoea, resulting from lack of inspiratory effort, which may result from heart failure or stroke. Sleep apnoea runs in families, is more common in obese people, affects daily functioning, and carries cardiovascular risks. The most effective treatments is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Numerous drugs have been tested, but none are proven to be effective in improving sleep quality. Modafinil improves daytime sleepiness when used as an adjunct therapy to CPAP in obstructive sleep apnoea. © 2004 Adis Data Information BV. All rights reserved.
