Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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.

Article Description
Objective: To study patterns of use of Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) and Cryoprecipitate (CRYO) in a level 4 NICU and assess what proportions were not supported by literature. Study Design: single centered retrospective observational. Charts of neonates admitted between 1/1/2010 to 12/31/2017 to CT Children’s level 4 NICU were reviewed. Transfusions were assigned as “supported” or “non-supported” based on available evidence. Groups were compared using T-tests and chi-squared analyses. Results: of 4110 total admissions, 197 (4.8%) received a total of 461 transfusions (374 FFP, 87 CRYO). Only 59% of FFP and 60% CRYO were supported by literature. Within the “non-supported” group the largest category was neonates transfused prophylactically. Conclusion: A large proportion of transfusions administered to neonates was not evidence-based, suggesting there are opportunities for improvement in use of these products.
