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
AIM: Evaluation the effect of intralesional corticosteroid injection on keloid, at the National Hospital of Dermatology and Venereology from 1/2009 to 12/2009. METHODS: A group of 65 patients with keloid were randomly assigned into three groups. In the studied group, 33 patients were intralesionally injected 7.5 mg/1 cm2 of TCA. In the control group, TAC 32 patients were intralesionally injected 15 mg/1 cm2 of TCA. The result was evaluated basing on the criteria of Henderson (1998) and El-Tonsy (1996). RESULTS: In comparison between 2 groups, good to excellent improvement in the studied group was statistically higher than the control group (90.7% versus 68.7%; p < 0.05). After each injection, the thickness of the scar was reduced 1.24 ± 0.53 mm in the studied group and 0.81 ± 0.39 mm in the control group. The disappearance of pain and itching after treatment were 86.6% and 95.5% in the studied group and 78.1% and 80% in the control group (p > 0.05). Ulceration, acne and troublesome with menstrual cycles were sometimes were noted more frequently in the control group than in the studied group. CONCLUSION: Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection had a good result, and 7.5 mg/1 cm2 scar is the best dose for treatment of keloid.
