| Abstract |
Primary biliary cirrhosis is an autoimmune disease that tends to progress to fibrosis and cirrhosis with hepatic failure. Primary biliary cirrhosis is often associated with other non- hepatic autoimmune diseases. An association with rheumatoid arthritis has been suggested to coexist in 1.8% to 5.6% of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, but data supporting this association are scarce. The etiologic and pathogenetic mechanisms are not yet fully understood and several factors have been implicated. The therapeutic management must consider the two pathologies. |

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 09 April 2013.
All research outputs
#18,335,133
of 22,705,019 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#2,237
of 3,887 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#151,043
of 199,331 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#22
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,705,019 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 3,887 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% 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 199,331 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
