| Abstract |
Patients referred to cardiac surgery for cardiovascular disease are at significant risk for the development of post-operative major adverse events despite significant advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care. Statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) have gained a pivotal role in the primary and secondary prevention of coronary artery disease, and are thought to improve perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 May 2012.
All research outputs
#5,504,765
of 22,664,644 outputs
Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#7,360
of 12,296 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,191
of 161,948 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#99
of 176 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,664,644 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,296 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.3. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% 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 161,948 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 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 176 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
