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
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of preoperative blood glucose (POBG) level on hospital length of stay (LOS) in patients undergoing appendectomy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥18 years who had undergone appendectomy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures between 2005 and 2016 at a tertiary medical center in Taiwan. The association between POBG level and LOS was evaluated using a multivariable quasi-Poisson regression with robust variance. Multiple imputations were performed to replace missing values. RESULTS We included 8,291 patients; 4,025 patients underwent appendectomy (appendec-tomy group) and 4,266 underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (laparoscopic cholecystectomy group). In the appendectomy group, patients with POBG levels of ≥123 mg/dL (adjusted relative risk [aRR] 1.19; 95% CI 1.06–1.33) had a 19% higher risk of having a LOS of >3 days than did those with POBG levels of <106 mg/dL. In the laparoscopic cholecystectomy group, patients with POBG levels of ≥128 mg/dL also had a significantly higher risk of having a LOS of >3 days (aRR 1.17; 95% CI 1.07–1.29) than did those with POBG levels of <102 mg/dL. A positive dose–response curve between POBG and an adjusted risk of a LOS of >3 days was observed, although the curve starts to flatten at a POBG level of ∼130 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that a higher POBG level was significantly associated with a prolonged LOS for patients undergoing appendectomy or laparoscopic cholecys-tectomy. The optimal POBG level may be lower than that commonly perceived.
