| Abstract |
Determining epidural catheter placement and accurately depositing corticosteroids at the site of the pathology in adults with chronic back pain can be challenging. Fluoroscopy is considered the standard of care for guiding epidural catheter positioning and subsequent injection in patients receiving epidural corticosteroids, but the technique has some limitations. We hypothesized that electrophysiological stimulation using the Tsui test is feasible for determining the appropriate epidural catheter position in adults with chronic back pain receiving epidural corticosteroids. |

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 06 August 2013.
All research outputs
#20,656,161
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie
#2,539
of 2,876 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#159,531
of 209,782 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie
#10
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,876 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.6. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% 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 209,782 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
