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
The optimal duration of antibiotic prophylaxis for patients undergoing primary hip or knee arthroplasty remains debated. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the outcomes of single-dose versus extended antibiotic prophylaxis. Studies assessing these strategies for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), revision surgery, and superficial surgical site infections were selected from systematic searches in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Results were synthesized using random-effects meta-analysis models. Nine studies were included, covering 295,654 patients - 125,489 undergoing total knee arthroplasty and 172,055 undergoing total hip arthroplasty. A significant statistical difference in the incidence of PJI favored single-dose over extended antibiotic prophylaxis (OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.63-0.98; I² = 0%). Our meta-analysis suggests that a single-dose prophylactic antibiotic regimen may be preferable for reducing PJI incidence in primary total hip and knee arthroplasty.
