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
This study was designed to determine how raw scores correspond between two alternative measures of functional recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI), the Functional Status Examination (FSE) and the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE). Using data from 357 persons with moderate-severe TBI who participated in a large clinical trial, we performed item response theory analysis to characterize the relationship between functional ability measured by the FSE and GOSE at 6 months post-injury. Results revealed that raw scores for the FSE and GOSE can be linked, and a table is provided to translate scores from one instrument to the other. For example, a FSE score of 7 (on its 0-21 scale, where higher scores reflect more impairment) is equivalent to a GOSE score of 6 (where GOSE is scaled on an 8-point scale, with higher scores reflecting less impairment). These results allow clinicians or researchers who have a score for a person on one instrument to cross-reference it to a score on the other instrument. Importantly, this enables researchers to combine data sets where some persons only completed the GOSE and some only the FSE. In addition, an investigator could save participant time by eliminating one instrument from a battery of tests, yet still retain a score on that instrument for each participant. More broadly, the findings help anchor scores from these two instruments to the broader continuum of injury-related functional limitations.
