| Abstract |
Fractures are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We determined if bone mineral density testing by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR pQCT) could discriminate fracture status in CKD patients. Both tests were able to discriminate fracture status. Further, the addition of HR pQCT measurements to DXA measurements did not improve fracture discrimination. |

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 26 November 2012.
All research outputs
#18,321,703
of 22,687,320 outputs
Outputs from Osteoporosis International
#2,711
of 3,596 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#197,089
of 247,367 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Osteoporosis International
#33
of 50 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,687,320 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,596 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% 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 247,367 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 50 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
