| Abstract |
Intensive care is expensive, and thus a body of research has focused on strategies to reduce its costs. However, efforts to reduce the total cost of intensive care have met with limited success, partly because of the challenges of calculating how much a day in the ICU actually costs. We discuss these challenges and introduce the concept of total cost savings as an outcome of critical care trials, assuming statistically negative effects on mortality and quality of life. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 06 September 2015.
All research outputs
#7,205,295
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Critical Care
#3,995
of 6,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#103,159
of 395,421 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Critical Care
#348
of 466 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st 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 38th percentile – i.e., 38% 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 395,421 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% 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 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
