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.

New Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Study Findings Recently Were Published by a Researcher at Xuzhou Medical University (Montelukast Sodium to Prevent and Treat Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Very Preterm Infants: A Quasi-Randomized Controlled Trial)
2023 DEC 29 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Clinical Trials Daily -- Investigators discuss new findings in bronchopulmonary dysplasia. According to
Article Description
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common chronic lung disease in preterm infants and lacks effective methods for prevention and treatment. The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of montelukast in preventing or treating BPD in preterm infants. The preterm infants with BPD risk factors were divided randomly into a montelukast group and a control group. In the montelukast group, preterm infants were given 1 mg/kg of montelukast sodium daily. There was no placebo in the control group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of moderate or severe BPD between the two groups (31.8% vs. 35%). The duration of respiratory support in the montelukast group was shorter than that in the control group (36.4 ± 12.8 d vs. 43.1 ± 15.9 d, p = 0.037). The pulmonary severity score (PSS) at 21 days of life in the montelukast group was significantly lower than that in the control group (0.56 ± 0.13 vs. 0.62 ± 0.14, p = 0.048). There were no significant differences in the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay, hospitalization expenses, or incidence of adverse events. Although montelukast cannot alleviate the severity of BPD, it may shorten the duration of respiratory support and decrease the PSS in very preterm infants. There were no significant adverse drug events associated with montelukast treatment.
