| Abstract |
Sepsis almost invariably leads to hemostatic abnormalities, ranging from insignificant laboratory changes to severe disseminated intravascular coagulation. There is compelling evidence from clinical and experimental studies that disseminated intravascular coagulation is involved in the pathogenesis of microvascular dysfunction and contributes to organ failure. Data from the PROWESS phase III clinical trial of recombinant activated protein C in patients with severe sepsis confirm this notion and demonstrate that the vast majority of patients with severe sepsis have increased markers for systemic coagulation activation, decreased physiological anticoagulant proteins and depressed fibrinolysis. There is no correlation between the type of microorganism that has caused the infection and the presence or severity of the coagulation disorder. |

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 24 February 2009.
All research outputs
#6,713,985
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Critical Care
#3,786
of 6,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,140
of 144,428 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Critical Care
#7
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
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 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% 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 144,428 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 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
