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
Introduction: In recent years, both morbidity and mortality from sepsis have increased gradually. Objective: To characterize clinical variables of patients with sepsis admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit of the Morón hospital. Methods: A prospective descriptive study was carried out of pediatric patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for Sepsis in the period from January 2015 to December 2018. The universe consisted of 298 children and the sample of 113, of whom they are distributed in different variables. Results: Ages between 2 and 5 years old predominate with 36 patients (31.9%) and female sex in 63 cases (55.7%). In the distribution of the stages at diagnosis, sepsis predominated with 53 cases for 46.9 %, and the time elapsed between infection and the appearance of sepsis was 0 to 3 hours in 43 cases. There was an association between septic shock and the volume dose administered at 60ml/Kg of body weight. The stay that predominated in the series was between 3 and 7 days in 41 patients. Conclusions: A clinical characterization of pediatric patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit at Morón hospital was carried out, which is classified within second-level care hospitals, for 4 years, among the main variables is the predominance of the sepsis stage and the relationship between septic shock and the volume dose at 60ml/Kg of body weight.
