| Abstract |
Older adults with asthma have low levels of adherence to their prescribed inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). While prior research has identified demographic and cognitive factors associated with ICS adherence among elderly asthmatics, little is known about the strategies that older adults use to achieve daily use of their medications. Identifying such strategies could provide clinicians with useful advice for patients when counseling their patients about ICS adherence. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 145. 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 30 December 2023.
All research outputs
#280,601
of 25,255,356 outputs
Outputs from Journal of General Internal Medicine
#234
of 8,138 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,324
of 236,941 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of General Internal Medicine
#3
of 108 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,255,356 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,138 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 22.0. 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 236,941 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 108 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
