Abstract

Dyslipidemia is one of the major cardiovascular risk factors, but beyond statin treatment-which represents the cornerstone of therapy-a relevant practical uncertainty regards the use of fibrate derivatives. In the lack of successful results from the main cardiovascular trials, guidelines recommend the use of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists in selected cases, i.e. patients with true atherogenic dyslipidemia. However, recent observations indicate that fenofibrate treatment may provide a reliable complementary support against residual cardiovascular risk. We therefore summarize current evidence on fenofibrate, seeking to provide an updated interpretation of recent studies in the field.

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 October 2018.
All research outputs
#14,360,729
of 23,102,082 outputs
Outputs from Drugs
#2,685
of 3,289 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#186,821
of 335,210 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Drugs
#24
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,102,082 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,289 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% 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 335,210 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
