The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.6 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 2.2 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00058 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.345 SNIP: 0.46 CiteScore™:: 2.5 H-Index: 67

ABSTRACT

Emerging evidence has indicated that the interleukin-1B (IL-1B) +3954 C > T polymorphism may affect individual susceptibility to sepsis. However, the results of published studies are inconclusive. The aim of this meta-analysis was to elucidate the association of this polymorphism with sepsis risk. Eligible studies were identified by a search of electronic databases. Overall and subgroup analyses were performed. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were applied to assess the associations between the IL-1B +3954 C > T polymorphism and sepsis risk. Six case–control studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled analysis indicated that the IL-1B +3954 C > T polymorphism significantly decreased the risk of sepsis under the homozygote model (TT vs. CC: OR = 0.57, 95% CI:0.37–0.88). In stratified analysis, we found that the protective effect of the IL-1B +3954 C > T polymorphism on sepsis risk remained significant in the subgroup of Caucasians and for high-quality studies. In conclusion, the IL-1B +3954 C > T polymorphism is associated with decreased sepsis risk in Caucasians. Further well-designed studies with large sample sizes are required to confirm this conclusion.
