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.

Data on Bladder Cancer Reported by Researchers at Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education (Sex Remains Negative Prognostic Factor in Contemporary Cohort of High-Risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer)
2023 JAN 05 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily -- Current study results on bladder cancer have been published.
Article Description
Sex-specific differences in outcomes of patients diagnosed with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) have been reported with controversial findings. This study aims to investigate sex-specific diversities in the treatment and oncologic outcomes of primary HR-NMIBC in a multicenter setting. A multicenter retrospective analysis of 519 patients (388 men and 131 women) treated with transurethral resection (TUR) for primary HR-NMIBC was performed. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were used to investigate the association of clinico-pathologic features and generate hazard ratios (HRs). Second-look TUR (reTUR) was performed in 406 (78%) patients. A total of 218 (42%) of patients were subjected to an induction course of intravesical BCG (Bacillus Calmette–Guérin) plus maintenance therapy. The median follow-up was 44 months. Among the entire cohort, 238 (46%) and 86 patients (17%) had recurred and progressed to muscle-invasive disease (MIBC), respectively. Female sex was associated with increased risk of disease recurrence in the entire cohort: HR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.48–2.55, p < 0.001 and HR = 1.91, 95% CI = 1.39–2.60, p < 0.001 in univariate and multivariate analysis, respectively. In patients subjected to reTUR and treated additionally with BCG, female sex was associated with increased risk of disease recurrence in univariate analysis (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.07–3.06, p = 0.03), but not in multivariate analysis (HR 1.99, 95% CI 0.98–4.02, p = 0.06). There was no difference between sexes with regard to disease progression. HR-NMIBC diagnosed in females is associated with higher risk of disease recurrence when compared to males.
