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
The study of 1527 autopsies showed that in 2% of cases the cause of death was Infective Endocarditis (IE) (acute in the absolute majority), mostly not diagnosed due to fulminant disease or to the short hospital stay and in some cases not correctly treated. Sepsis was correctly diagnosed in 12 patients (9 of whom were IV drug addicts) and was not identified in 14 patients (12 of whom had acute disease) who were diagnosed as suffering from CNS disease or pneumonia. Systematic autoptic study of patients with or without IE appears to be a very useful method to determine correctly IE mortality.
