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
Chronic pain affects a significant percentage of the population and is defined as pain that lasts beyond the point of healing. People presenting to hospital with acute illness may have underlying chronic pain that can be exacerbated by their presenting condition, even if this chronic pain is not the reason for their admission. While people may tolerate their usual medicine regimen under normal circumstances, small changes in their physical health can rapidly cause issues with their medication such as increased side effects. This article considers how nurses can improve the safety of people experiencing pain who have been admitted to hospital, and outlines when changes in their health might have implications for their prescribed analgesics.
