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
We read with great interest the retrospective cohort study by Li et al. that evaluated the long-term outcomes of patients with Spetzler-Martin grade IV–V brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) managed at a single high-volume center. Eighty-two patients with high-grade ruptured or unruptured bAVMs who received follow-up for a mean of approximately 5 years were studied to compare functional outcome, obliteration rate, seizure control, and risk of hemorrhage between those who received conservative management and those who underwent intervention (microsurgery, embolization, or hybrid surgery). This is one of the largest single-center series dedicated to high-grade bAVM. It showed that intervention had an advantage for avoidance of long-term severe disability (modified Rankin Scale score > 3) in comparison with observation (1.7% vs 18.2%). Intervention also demonstrated better seizure control and protection from subsequent hemorrhage, with hybrid surgery resulting in less intraoperative blood loss than microsurgery.
