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
Skin and soft tissue infections represent a heterogeneous group of clinical entities that require to be accurately identified for an appropriate and immediate management. Clinicians are challenged by the need to rapidly select those patients requiring hospitalization and medical therapy only and those to be immediately submitted to surgery. Erysipelas and several forms of cellulitis, involving the superficial structures of epidermis and dermis, are medical conditions; some cutaneous abscess may require surgical drainage, and all the necrotizing infections, involving the subcutaneous tissue (necrotizing fasciitis) or muscles (myonecrosis) are surgical conditions. Among the clinical clues useful for the diagnosis are the presence of severe pain disproportionate to the clinical evidence of the lesion (necrotizing fasciitis), the presence of crepitus (gas gangrene) and signs of systemic toxicity (high fever, hypotension, tachycardia, shock and multiple organ failure).
