| Abstract |
The plasma tuberculosis drug activity (TDA) assay may be an alternative tool for therapeutic drug monitoring in resource limited settings. In tuberculosis (TB) patients (n=30), TDA and plasma levels of first-line drugs were analysed two hours post dose, two weeks after treatment initiation. Patients with plasma levels of rifampicin below 8 mg/L had significantly lower median TDA (1.40 vs 1.68, p=0.0013). TDA may be used to identify TB patients with suboptimal rifampicin levels during TB treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 26 April 2018.
All research outputs
#4,838,109
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
#4,050
of 15,582 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#87,548
of 339,863 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
#149
of 233 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 15,582 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 70% 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 339,863 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 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 233 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
