Statins are essential medications in the management of patients with clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and have been supported by numerous clinical trials. Emerging evidence suggests that adding ezetimibe to statin therapy is associated with a net benefit and improved hard clinical outcomes, particularly in patients with significantly elevated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 01 April 2018.
All research outputs
#17,601,042
of 27,394,475 outputs
Outputs from Cardiology clinics
#543
of 710 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#203,200
of 344,193 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cardiology clinics
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,394,475 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 710 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.9. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% 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 344,193 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
