| Abstract |
Use of etomidate in the critically ill is controversial due to its links with an inadequate response to corticotropin and potential for excess mortality. In a septic shock population, we tested the hypotheses that etomidate administration induces more non-responders to corticotropin and increases mortality and that hydrocortisone treatment decreases mortality in patients receiving etomidate. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 19. 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 10 June 2016.
All research outputs
#1,721,331
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from Intensive Care Medicine
#1,378
of 5,104 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#5,621
of 112,644 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Intensive Care Medicine
#2
of 41 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,104 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 28.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% 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 112,644 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 41 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
