| Abstract |
IntroductionThe intra-aortic balloon pump is routinely used in cardiac surgery; however its impact on outcome is yet matter of debate and randomized trials were recently published. We perform an updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that investigated the use of preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump in adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.MethodsPotentially eligible trials were identified by searching the Medline, Embase, Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge and The Cochrane Library. Searches were not restricted by language or publication status and were updated in August 2014. Randomised controlled trials on preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting either with or without cardiopulmonary bypass were identified. The primary endpoint was mortality at the longest follow up available and the secondary endpoint was 30-days mortality.ResultsThe eight included randomized clinical trials enrolled 625 patients (312 to intra-aortic balloon pump group and 313 to control). The use of intra-aortic balloon pump was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of mortality (11 of 312 (3.5%) versus 33 of 313 (11%), risk ratio¿=¿0.38 (0.20 to 0.73), P for effect¿=¿0.004, P for heterogeneity¿=¿0.7, I-square¿=¿0%, with eight studies included). The benefit on mortality reduction was confirmed restricting the analysis to trials with low risk of bias, to those reporting 30-days follow up and to patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.ConclusionsPreoperative intra-aortic balloon pump reduces perioperative and 30-days mortality in high-risk patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting. |

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 16 June 2015.
All research outputs
#6,459,606
of 25,653,515 outputs
Outputs from Critical Care
#3,683
of 6,599 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#90,778
of 397,043 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Critical Care
#314
of 466 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,653,515 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,599 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.7. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% 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 397,043 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 466 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
