Abstract

A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of carvedilol versus metoprolol on the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in randomized controlled trials. Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, CENTRAL, and Excepta Medica (EMBASE) were searched up to March 2013 for suitable randomized controlled trials. Data were pooled using random-effects model for pairwise analyses. A total of 4 trials with 601 patients were included in this analysis. Pairwise analyses showed that compared with metoprolol, carvedilol significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (odds ratio 0.50, 95% confidence interval 0.32 to 0.80). In conclusion, compared with metoprolol, carvedilol significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 04 November 2019.
All research outputs
#7,356,550
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Cardiology
#3,274
of 10,182 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,623
of 229,111 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Cardiology
#40
of 154 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,182 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its peers.
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 229,111 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 154 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
