Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a rare but serious complication following contrast-based procedures. Statins have been postulated to prevent CIN via various mechanisms. However, the outcomes following statin administration to prevent CIN have been inconsistent. A meta-analysis of published randomized clinical trials was performed to determine if short-term administration of high-dose statin is superior to conventional-dose statin or placebo among patients undergoing catheterization and interventional procedures in preventing CIN. Data were combined across 8 published clinical trials in which 1423 patients were identified. Pooled analyses showed that short-term high-dose statin treatment can decrease the occurrence of CIN (risk ratio 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.34-0.77; P = 0.001) and 48-hour serum creatinine level (standardized mean difference [SMD] –0.07 mg/dL; 95% CI, –0.11 to –0.04 mg/dL; P < 0.00001). However, subgroup analysis showed that statin pretreatment cannot decrease the occurrence of CIN in patients with preexisting renal impairment (RR 0.90; 95% CI, 0.49-1.65; P = 0.73). No evidence of publication bias was detected. This meta-analysis supports the effectiveness of short-term high-dose statin pretreatment for both decreasing the level of serum creatinine and reducing the rate of CIN in patients undergoing diagnostic and interventional procedures requiring contrast media. However, prospective clinical trials will be needed to draw a definitive conclusion in this area. La néphropathie induite par les produits de contraste (NIC) est une complication rare, mais sérieuse, à la suite d'examens de contraste. Les statines sont présumées prévenir la NIC par divers mécanismes. Cependant, les résultats suivant l'administration de statines pour prévenir la NIC ont été inconsistants. Une métaanalyse d'essais cliniques aléatoires publiés a été faite pour déterminer si l'administration à court terme de doses élevées de statines est supérieure à la dose usuelle de statines ou au placebo chez les patients subissant une cathétérisation et des procédures interventionnelles en prévention de la NIC. Les données ont été combinées à partir de 8 essais cliniques publiés parmi lesquels 1 423 patients ont été identifiés. Les analyses groupées ont montré qu'un traitement à court terme à doses élevées de statines peut diminuer l'occurrence de la NIC (risque relatif [RR] de 0,51, intervalle de confiance [IC] de 95 %, 0,34-0,77; P = 0,001) et le niveau de créatinine sérique après 48 heures (déviation standard moyenne [DMS]) –0,07 mg/dl; IC de 95 %, –0,11 à –0,04 mg/dl; P < 0,00001). Cependant, l'analyse par sous-groupe a montré qu'un prétraitement par statines ne peut pas diminuer l'occurrence de la NIC chez les patients avec une insuffisance rénale préexistante (RR de 0,90; IC de 95 %, 0,49-1,65; P = 0,73). Aucune preuve de biais de publication n'a été trouvée. Cette métaanalyse appuie l'efficacité d'un prétraitement à court terme à doses élevées de statines tant pour la diminution du niveau de créatinine sérique que pour la réduction du taux de NIC chez les patients subissant un diagnostic et des procédures interventionnelles nécessitant un produit de contraste. Cependant, des essais cliniques prospectifs seront nécessaires pour tirer une conclusion définitive dans ce domaine.
