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.

Review Description
In today's healthcare environment prevention plays a pivotal role. With the aging population, herpes zoster (HZ) pain and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) are two conditions that will have a significant impact on the healthcare industry. The common held belief that HZ patients are protected from recurrence, after one episode of shingles no longer holds true. In a recent study data has shown recurrence rates of over five percent. The evidence suggests those who experienced pain lasting more than 30 days after the initial onset of shingles were more likely to have a recurrence, especially in the first three to four years after the initial episode.6 Understanding the variables that influence the patient s perspective of pain can impact healthcare delivery. Increasing the quality of life for the elderly through preventive measures including education, immunization, and implementation of early treatment guidelines can significantly reduce the incidence of PHN. © the author(s), publisher and licensee Libertas Academica Ltd.
