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
Abstract The use of unrelated living donors in kidney transplantation is still controversial but many transplant centres have accepted this procedure. The main argument against this approach is usually an ethical one. Because of this, at our institution we accept biologically unrelated donors only if they have an emotional closeness to the recipient. From January 1983 to October 1993, out of 654 kidney transplantations we performed at our institution, 364 kidney allografts were from living donors. Of these living donors, 245 were first‐degree relatives of the recipient (LRD) while 119 were unrelated (LURD); 100 cases were spouses‐wife to husband in 76 cases and husband to wife in 24 cases Statistical analysis of the results (chisquare) revealed actuarial patient and graft survival rates of 89.8% and 86.8% at 1 year, 82.9% and 72.3% at 5 years and 12.3% and 60.3% at 9 years, respectively. In our series, the result of living donor kidney transplantation in this group were similar to those obtained in the LRD group, while they were significantly better than those from cadaver donors (P = 0.003). In conclusion, cadaver organs given the shortage of kidney transplantation between spouses may be a good alternative and can be performed successfully, providing a “gift of life” for both the patient and the family.
