| Abstract |
A retrospective medical records audit. To investigate the presence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) events following acute traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and the association between VTE events and a number of postulated risk factors. The state-wide SCI service in Victoria Australia (Victorian Spinal Cord Service) located at Austin Hospital Melbourne Australia. A retrospective electronic medical records file audit was performed of all patients admitted to VSCS between 2010 and 2013 with an acute traumatic SCI. The outcome measure was the presence of VTE (deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) or both). Data were also collected on a variety of established and postulated risk factors for VTE post SCI. VTE events occurred in 21.2% of acute SCI patients during the hospitalisation of the patient. Statistically significant associations were found between the presence of VTE events and increased weight, male sex, completeness of motor paralysis, length of stay (LOS), associated pelvic or lower limb fracture and delayed admission to the state-wide spinal cord service. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether in other SCI centres the risk of VTE in acute SCI patients is similarly associated with the risk factors identified in our study. A study exploring whether giving acute SCI patients of heavier weight a larger dose of chemical thromboprophylaxis is safe and efficacious is also warranted.Spinal Cord advance online publication, 14 June 2016; doi:10.1038/sc.2016.94. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. 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 16 January 2017.
All research outputs
#2,897,390
of 23,298,349 outputs
Outputs from Spinal Cord
#169
of 2,357 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#53,400
of 354,221 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Spinal Cord
#4
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,298,349 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,357 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% 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 354,221 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 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 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 93% of its contemporaries.
