| Abstract |
Intoxications, both accidental and intentional, are common in children and adolescents and often require hospitalisation and intensive treatment. Antiepileptic drugs are a possible cause of poisoning and intoxications because this category of medications has shown a rising trend in recent years. They might be responsible for multi-organ dysfunctions of variable severity, ranging from subtle symptoms to life-threatening complications. No guidelines on the management of these intoxications in the paediatric population are currently available, and treatment is mainly supportive. Activated charcoal administration and extracorporeal circulation techniques for drug removal have been proposed. Facing the complexity of this clinical scenario, it is of utmost importance to maintain a high index of suspicion to guarantee a prompt intervention and ensure the best possible management for the patient. |

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 03 October 2020.
All research outputs
#14,974,586
of 25,461,852 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Paediatrics & Child Health
#1,925
of 3,371 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#229,977
of 450,087 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Paediatrics & Child Health
#33
of 70 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,461,852 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,371 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% 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 450,087 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 70 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 51% of its contemporaries.
