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
Background: This systematic, single-subject case study presents a 37-year old male with a severe traumatic brain injury who exhibited agitation and poor adherence with rehabilitation treatment on an inpatient traumatic brain injury unit. Attempts to address presumed awareness issues were unsuccessful. Medication trials also failed to produce an observable response in the patient's behaviour. Case study: A behavioural contract was presented by staff that specified positive behaviours the patient needed to demonstrate in order to reach his goal of being discharged from the hospital. Immediately, patient agitation ratings decreased and soon normalized. Statistical analysis of single subject times series data using the method of Nonoverlap of all Pairs results in a ratio of 0.875, indicating a moderate effect size for the intervention. Conclusions: The patient was able to comply with all requests and, with supports, was able to be safely discharged from the hospital ahead of schedule. Factors that could have contributed to this outcome and potential limitations are discussed. © 2012 Informa UK Ltd.
