Abstract

Unfractionated heparin sodium (UFH) is used in neurology and vascular surgical patients to treat and prevent thromboembolic occlusions and requires weight-based dosing to achieve a therapeutic range, however the optimal dosing strategy is not known. This study sought to determine whether an intravenous (IV) weight based UFH dosing nomogram based on an 80 units/kg bolus and 18 units/kg/hr initial infusion rate achieves therapeutic anticoagulation (aPTT 65-110) more rapidly than a 60 units/kg bolus and 12 units/kg/hr initial infusion rate in 98 neurology and vascular surgery patients.

Attention Score in Context

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 20 January 2015.
All research outputs
#20,656,161
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
#1,388
of 1,787 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#269,087
of 361,169 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
#15
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,787 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% 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 361,169 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
