| Abstract |
BackgroundRelapsing polychondritis is a rare disease characterised by inflammation of cartilaginous and proteoglycan rich structures. As there are only a few published single centre case series from all across the world, we describe our experience with 26 patients at a tertiary centre in north India.MethodsA retrospective study with all patients meeting Damiani and Levine¿s modification of McAdam¿s diagnostic criteria. Clinical details, investigations, disease activity assessment [(Relapsing Polychondritis Disease Activity Index(RPDAI)], treatment and outcomes were recorded.ResultsTen men and sixteen women (median age 45 years) met the diagnostic criteria. Auricular chondritis (96%), arthritis (54%), hearing impairment (42%), ocular(42%), dermal (26%), cardiovascular(11%) and laryngotracheal involvement(11%)characterized the clinical presentations. The median RPDAI was 31(range 9-66). Two patients died during observation. Overall survival was 92.3% (median survival 13.5 years).ConclusionsApart from reduced laryngotracheal involvement, RP in India was clinically similar to recorded patterns elsewhere. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 28 August 2020.
All research outputs
#8,521,581
of 25,389,520 outputs
Outputs from Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
#1,246
of 3,095 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#108,254
of 356,596 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
#28
of 73 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,389,520 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,095 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% 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 356,596 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 73 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
