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
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a clonal proliferative disease of B or T cell progenitors originating from lymph nodes or extranodal lymphatic tissue. There are several pulmonary complications associated with NHL. We aimed to discuss two pulmonary complications with high morbidity and mortality associated with lymphoma in our patient followed up with COPD and NHL. Seventy one years old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with sudden onset of dyspnea and chest pain. He had a history of bronchodilator use for COPD for 18 years and chemotherapy and local radiotherapy because of NHL 8 years ago. In terms of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), it was evaluated as clinically low-medium risk group. Pulmonary CT angiography was performed to diagnose PTE. Unilateral subcutaneous pleural fluid was detected in the chest radiography performed in the emergency room where he was admitted to the hospital due to increased dyspnea under low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) treatment. Triglyceride level > 110 mg/dL was observed in pleural fluid sampled by thoracentesis and diagnosed as chylothorax. He was followed by a pleuroken stool diet and received only one course of chemotherapy because of relapse NHL. Her general condition deteriorated and the patient died. The incidence of thrombosis in hematological oncology varies between 2% and 58%. PTE is a complication that must be considered in case of sudden onset of shortness of breath in hematologic oncologies. Increased shortness of breath under effective PTE treatment was considered as a secondary event and chylothorax, another pulmonary complication, was detected especially in lymphoma. Our patient with lymphoma was presented because of pulmonary complications associated with lymphoma.
