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
Objective: To identify and evaluate the correlation between leukocyte count in maternal blood and the risk of developing fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS). Patients and methods: The study involved 158 infants born at 22-34 weeks of gestation and their mothers. Umbilical cord blood cytokines were evaluated in immunoassay tests and maternal blood was tested for the leukocyte formula. Results: The period of gestation was significantly shorter in the FIRS group compared to the control group (29.5 ± 3.1 vs. 32.2±2.4 weeks,p <0.001). Gestational age was ≤30 weeks for 53.8% of the newborns in the FIRS group and 15.8% of the newborns in the control group (p<0.001). The number of leukocytes in maternal blood before and during labor was significantly higher in the FIRS group than in the control group (p =0.034 and 0.004, respectively). The study determined the correlation between the total leukocyte count in maternal blood and IL-6 concentration during labor (p=0.05) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) concentration in umbilical cord blood before and during labor (p=0.02 and 0.007, respectively). Conclusion: Leukocytosis in the FIRS group was significantly higher than in the control group before and during labor. According to our data, one of the possible indicators of intrauterine infection could be the number of leukocytes in maternal blood. © 2013 Daiva Bartkeviciene et al.
