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.

Reports Outline Asthma Study Results from Universidad Distrital Francisco Jose de Caldas (Trends in the Use of Air Quality Indexes in Asthma Studies)

Review Description
International air quality indexes (AQIs) are derived from air pollution and are essential global tools for mitigating diseases such as asthma, as they are used to reduce exposure to triggers. The aim of this article is to systematically review the global literature on the use of AQIs in asthma-related studies. To evaluate the importance of the variables considered, a citation frequency index (Q) was used. The results suggest that the most frequently reported air pollutants related to asthma are PM (Q3) > NO (Q3) > O (Q3) > CO (Q3) > NO (Q3) > SO (Q3). In addition, climate variables play a relevant role in asthma research. Temperature (Q4) emerged as the most relevant climate variable, followed by atmospheric pressure (Q3) > wind direction (Q3) > solar radiation (Q3) > precipitation (Q3) > wind speed (Q3). AQIs, specifically the U.S.EPA Air Quality Index and the Air Quality Health Index, are directly associated with air pollution and the prevalence, severity and exacerbation of asthma. The findings also suggest that climate change presents additional challenges in relation to asthma by influencing the environmental conditions that affect the disease. Finally, this study provides a comprehensive view of the relationships among air quality, air pollutants and asthma and highlights the need for further research in this field to develop public health policies and environmental regulations.
