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
In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), assessment of severity requires right heart catheterization (RHC) through cardiac index (CI). Previous studies have shown that dual-energy CT allows a quantitative assessment of the lung perfusion blood volume (PBV). Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the quantitative PBV as a marker of severity in CTEPH. In the present study, thirty-three patients with CTEPH (22 women, 68.2 ± 14.8 years) were included from May 2017 to September 2021. Mean quantitative PBV was 7.6% ± 3.1 and correlated with CI (r = 0.519, p = 0.002). Mean qualitative PBV was 41.1 ± 13.4 and did not correlate with CI. Quantitative PBV AUC values were 0.795 (95% CI: 0.637–0.953, p = 0.013) for a CI ≥ 2 L/min/m and 0.752 (95% CI: 0.575–0.929, p = 0.020) for a CI ≥ 2.5 L/min/m. In conclusion, quantitative lung PBV outperformed qualitative PBV for its correlation with the cardiac index and may be used as a non-invasive marker of severity in CTPEH patients.
