| Abstract |
Patients requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) for >48 h after major heart surgery (MHS) are at a high risk of acquiring ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and tracheobronchitis (VAT). Most non-pharmacological interventions to prevent VAP in such patients are usually already implemented. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy in preventing lower respiratory infections of antibiotics active against multidrug-resistant pathogens in this very high-risk population. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 August 2013.
All research outputs
#15,274,524
of 22,714,025 outputs
Outputs from Intensive Care Medicine
#3,996
of 4,970 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#121,055
of 195,450 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Intensive Care Medicine
#29
of 42 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,714,025 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,970 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 26.6. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 195,450 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 42 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
