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 investigated the association between periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) development using the National Health Insurance Service—National Sample Cohort 2.0 (NHIS-NSC2) database, which contains data for approximately 1 million nationally representative random participants. We selected 52,425 participants aged 20+ years and diagnosed with periodontitis from January to December 2003 and used propensity score matching to select an equivalent number of participants who were never diagnosed with periodontitis in the period covered by the NHIS-NSC2 database (2002–2015). The propensity scores were based on sex, age group, type of national health insurance, household income, diabetes status, and hypertension status and were used for 1:1 matching of individuals with similar propensities. A total of 104,850 participants were selected for the study. A multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to investigate the risk of ACVD development due to periodontitis from 2003 to 2015 after adjusting for sex, age, type of national health insurance, household income, hypertension status, and diabetes status. Participants with periodontitis had a higher risk of ACVD (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.09, 95% confidence interval: 1.05–1.13) than those without periodontitis. Thus, periodontitis can increase the risk of ACVD, and prevention of periodontitis may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
