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 authors carried out a prospective study to ascertain whether cholecystectomy itself might be the cause of duodenogastric reflux. Patients with cholelithiasis were examined and underwent the following tests: hemanalysis, gastroscopy with biopsy, 24 hour pH-metry and acetaminophen test. Twelve patients were selected. Six months after the operation the tests were repeated. All patients were asymptomatic. Hemanalysis was normal in all 12 patients and no difference was seen in the tests of 5 of the patients; however in the other 7 differences were observed in all the tests. The authors conclude that cholecystectomy helps to provoke duodenogastric reflux in predisposed patients, and that this reflux may be asymptomatic.
