| Abstract |
ABSTRACT: Acute liver failure in ICU patients is an often fatal condition in which many patients may die of multiple organ failure in the absence of liver transplantation. In this setting, cardiac injury may be associated with or precipitate a fatal outcome. Troponin-I is a well-established, specific, and sensitive surrogate of acute coronaropathy, with both diagnostic and prognostic value. Troponin-I elevation in acute liver failure patients is common, ranging from 60 to 75%, and probably multifactorial. Despite a previous well-conducted US study showing that elevated troponin-I is associated with an independent risk of poor outcome and mortality, a recent UK study did not confirm these data and reported contradictory results. Troponin-I elevation observed in acute liver failure may therefore not represent true myocardial injury and may be better viewed as a marker of metabolic stress. The debate on the significance of elevated troponin-I in acute liver failure patients is revived. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 15 January 2013.
All research outputs
#17,286,645
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Critical Care
#5,469
of 6,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#195,721
of 292,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Critical Care
#62
of 103 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,554 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.8. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% 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 292,345 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 103 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
