Abstract

Cotard's syndrome is characterized by the presence of nihilistic delusions. A retrospective case note study of 349 Chinese psychogeriatric patients in Hong Kong showed a prevalence of 0.57% of the syndrome. The two patients identified were both females with major depression. Case vignettes of these patients were presented and the similarity of the clinical features to those described in the Western literature was discussed.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 79. 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 31 May 2016.
All research outputs
#540,651
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from General Hospital Psychiatry
#36
of 1,706 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#219
of 76,632 outputs
Outputs of similar age from General Hospital Psychiatry
#1
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,706 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
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 76,632 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
