| Abstract |
In an HIV-hepatitis B virus (HIV-HBV) coinfection cohort in Zambia, we piloted a qualitative point-of-care (POC) test for urine Ethyl glucuronide (uEtG), assessed concordance between uEtG and alcohol use disorders identification test-consumption (AUDIT-C), and identified epidemiological factors associated with underreporting (defined as uEtG-positivity with last reported drink > 7 days prior). Among 211 participants (40.8% women), there were 44 (20.8%) lifetime abstainers, 32 (15.2%) former drinkers, and 135 (64.0%) current drinkers, including 106 (50.2%) with unhealthy drinking per AUDIT-C. Eighty-seven (41.2%) were uEtG-positive including 64 of 65 (98.5%) who drank ≤ 3 days prior and 17 of 134 (12.7%) underreported, all of whom admitted to recent drinking when results were discussed. uEtG was moderately concordant with AUDIT-C. Past drinking (versus lifetime abstinence) and longer time on antiretrovirals (≥ 12 months) were associated with underreporting. These data support further use of POC alcohol biomarkers in HIV and hepatitis research and clinical settings. |

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 12 February 2018.
All research outputs
#18,572,005
of 23,849,058 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#2,846
of 3,566 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#338,725
of 478,141 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#53
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,849,058 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,566 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% 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 478,141 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
