| Abstract |
Literature reports worse outcomes for operations performed during off-hours. As this has not been studied in pediatric extracorporeal life support (ECLS), we compared complications based on the timing of cannulation.. This is a retrospective review of 176 pediatric ECLS patients between 2004 and 2015. Patients cannulated during daytime hours (7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., M-F) were compared to off-hours (nighttime or weekend) using t-test and Chi-square. The most common indications for ECLS were congenital diaphragmatic hernia (33 %) and persistent pulmonary hypertension (23 %). When comparing regular hours (40 %) to off-hours cannulation (60 %), there were no significant differences in central nervous system complications, hemorrhage (extra-cranial), cannula repositioning, conversion from venovenous to venoarterial, mortality on ECLS, or survival-to-discharge. The overall complication rate was slightly lower in the off-hours group (45.7 % versus 61.9 %, P = 0.034). Outcomes were not significantly worse for patients undergoing ELCS cannulation during off-hours compared to normal weekday working hours. |

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 22 December 2016.
All research outputs
#6,977,288
of 22,875,477 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Surgery International
#188
of 1,257 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#109,710
of 334,086 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Surgery International
#2
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,875,477 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,257 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% 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 334,086 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 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 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 90% of its contemporaries.
