Abstract

Despite the proven benefits in hemorrhagic shock, blood transfusions have been linked to increased morbidity and mortality. The short-term adverse effects of blood transfusion in cardiac surgical patients are well documented but there are very few studies that adequately assess the long-term survival. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of transfusion on both short-term and long-term survival after cardiac surgery.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. 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 21 July 2017.
All research outputs
#3,661,761
of 25,584,565 outputs
Outputs from The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
#776
of 8,333 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,471
of 178,068 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
#4
of 65 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,584,565 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,333 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% 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 178,068 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 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 65 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.
