| Abstract |
A persistant shortage of available organs for transplantation has driven French medical authorities to focus on organ retrieval from patients who die following the withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy. This study was designed to assess the theoretical eligibility of patients who have died in French intensive care units (ICUs) after a decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining therapy to organ donation. |

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 08 December 2016.
All research outputs
#4,690,026
of 22,759,618 outputs
Outputs from Intensive Care Medicine
#2,263
of 4,972 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#47,084
of 230,117 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Intensive Care Medicine
#13
of 50 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,759,618 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,972 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 26.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% 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 230,117 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 50 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 74% of its contemporaries.
