| Abstract |
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a potentially life-saving procedure which effectively removes donor-specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies from the bloodstream, allowing critically ill heart transplant recipients to receive a donor organ with less wait time, and reducing the risk of acute organ rejection. The bulk of coagulation factors is initially removed from the blood during TPE using albumin and is later replaced with allogeneic plasma. Coagulopathy may develop during TPE and then can persist due to intraoperative blood loss and hemodilution during surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass. We hereby describe the utility of rotational thromboelastometry to assess rapid coagulation changes during TPE and subsequent heart transplant (HT) surgery. |

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 13 November 2016.
All research outputs
#17,820,151
of 22,896,955 outputs
Outputs from JA Clinical Reports
#97
of 145 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#225,392
of 315,872 outputs
Outputs of similar age from JA Clinical Reports
#3
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,896,955 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 145 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.7. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% 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 315,872 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
