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
Background and aim: Childhood Maltreatment is a leading cause of psychopathology, yet it is often neglected in the psychiatric clinical practice. The aim of the present study was to assess the frequency of childhood maltreatment in an Italian cohort of teenagers with psychiatric conditions and its impact on single disorders. Methods: a retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 172 patients referring to a child psychiatry unit, identifying childhood maltreatment events through questionnaires, personal data, and psychiatric history, and gathering socio-demographic information and mean scores at tests assessing depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and impulsivity. Results: 32% of the sample reported exposure to child maltreatment. Exposed children showed statistically significant higher rates of clinical severity, i.e., they were more frequently admitted as inpatients and under pharmacological therapy. Children of families under social service protection, with divorced parents, and a history of psychiatric diseases or substance abuse, showed significantly increased odds of exposure. Noticeably, socioeconomic status was not a significant factor. Conclusions: Childhood maltreatment is common among high-risk teenagers and dramatically impacts psychiatric conditions. Therefore, it should be routinely assessed and considered in the psychiatric care plan. (www.actabiomedica.it).
