| Abstract |
Hypoglycemia is consistently associated with an increased risk of death in hospital patients in general, patients treated in intensive care units, and type II diabetes patients recruited to large randomized controlled trials. In 1965, Sir Austin Bradford Hill elucidated nine characteristics that help establish a causal relationship between exposure to a potentially harmful substance or event (in this context, hypoglycemia) and disease onset or death; hypoglycemia exhibits some of those characteristics but others remain to be explored. While we await data that address the outstanding issues, common sense dictates that clinicians avoid causing hypoglycemia whenever possible. |

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 30 November 2011.
All research outputs
#20,657,128
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Critical Care
#5,970
of 6,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#203,670
of 246,013 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Critical Care
#56
of 76 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% 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 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% 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 246,013 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 76 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
