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
Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary artery disease (CAD), is a leading global cause of death. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant risk factor, particularly in data-scarce Saudi Arabia, due to shared risk factors. A study aims to assess the CVD-CKD relationship, identifying clinical characteristics and risk factors to improve prevention and care in this context, filling a knowledge gap in Saudi Arabia's healthcare map. Methodology It is a single-center retrospective study aimed at evaluating the relationship between cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease, conducted between January 2023 and October 2023. Data was sourced from patient files using a data sheet based on a previous study. The data was cleaned in MS Excel (Redmond, USA) and analyzed in IBM Corp. Released 2022. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 29.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. Results Our study contains predominantly males (61%), aged 61-80 (54.1%), with a normal body mass index (BMI) (<25) (61.5%) and a high prevalence of smoking (72.3%). Diabetes, hypertension, and smoking were prevalent risk factors. The relationship between CAD severity, renal dysfunction, and ejection fraction (EF) was explored, emphasizing the association between declining renal function and more advanced CAD stages, as well as the decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with decreasing EF. Age, smoking, CAD, and decreasing EF were linked to renal dysfunction, while smoking, stroke history, peripheral vascular disease (PVD), BMI, and decreasing EF were associated with CAD stage severity. Conclusion Our study explored that as CAD severity increases, renal function decreases, showing both CVD and CKD connected with each other, and a similar correlation occurs between decreasing EF and decreasing eGFR, revealing significant associations with various risk factors. Further research is warranted to explore potential interventions aimed at mitigating the synergistic impact of CVD and CKD on patient morbidity and mortality.
