| Abstract |
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major factor contributing to cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality with the highest risk in patients on dialysis. An estimation of CV risk is important not only to identify potential modifiable risk factors but also to evaluate the effect of treatments aimed to reduce the risk. Non-invasive methods of measuring vascular changes and circulating biomarkers are available to assess the presence and severity of cardiovascular damage. These include measures of structural (carotid intima-media thickness and coronary artery calcification score) and functional (aortic pulse wave velocity, 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, ambulatory arterial stiffness index, heart rate variability and flow-mediated dilatation) changes in the vessel wall. In addition, a number of circulating biomarkers of vascular damage and its progression have been studied. Many of these tests are well validated as surrogate markers of future cardiovascular events and death in adult CKD patients, but need technical adaptation, standardization and validation for use in children. With our current state of knowledge, these are best reserved for research studies and scarce clinical resources may be better utilized for preventative strategies to reduce the modifiable risk factors for calcification from early CKD stages. |

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 25 April 2013.
All research outputs
#18,337,420
of 22,708,120 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Nephrology
#3,113
of 3,526 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#131,836
of 174,275 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Nephrology
#18
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,708,120 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 3,526 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% 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 174,275 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
