| Abstract |
The clinical course and treatment outcome of scorpion envenoming in 293 children was studied in a hospital at Mahad in Raigad district of Maharastra. 111 (38%) children who reported 1-10 hours (mean 3.5 hours) after sting had hypertension, 87 (29.6%) with tachycardia reported within 1-24 hours (mean 6.7 hours) of being envenomed and 72 (24.5%) children developed acute pulmonary edema after 6-24 hours (mean 8 hours) of sting. Six victims were brought dead, while 17 (6%) died later owing to multiorgan failure with loss of consciousness and convulsions (who reported after 24 hours of sting). Early administration of prazosin (125-250 ug orally) improved the clinical symptoms. Morbidity and mortality due to scorpion envenoming depends upon time lapse between sting and administration of post synaptic alpha-1 blocker, prazosin hydrochloride. |

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 23 February 2022.
All research outputs
#7,605,706
of 23,189,371 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#295
of 1,567 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,532
of 34,553 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#3
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,189,371 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,567 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% 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 34,553 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
