| Abstract |
Patient training has widely been considered to be one of the most critical factors for achieving optimal peritoneal dialysis clinical outcomes, including avoidance of peritonitis. However, research in this important area has been remarkably scant to date. This article will critically review the clinical evidence underpinning PD patient training and will specifically focus on four key areas: who should provide training and how, when and where should it be performed to obtain the best results. Evidence gaps and future research directions will also be discussed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 10 February 2020.
All research outputs
#7,399,028
of 22,794,367 outputs
Outputs from Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation
#2,722
of 5,960 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#105,909
of 353,038 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation
#22
of 62 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,794,367 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,960 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% 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 353,038 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 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 62 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 64% of its contemporaries.
