Abstract

A 58-year-old man was referred to physical therapy with a primary complaint of intermittent low back pain (LBP) 2 weeks after being in a motor vehicle collision. The absence of red flags justified the initiation of treatment, but when symptoms of unrelenting LBP emerged, he was referred to his primary care physician with a request for further medical workup. Before further imaging work-up was performed, the patient presented to the emergency room with a urinary complaint; this, in combination with unrelenting LBP, prompted further imaging follow-up. Lumbar/thoracic spine magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple compression fractures and diffuse bone marrow heterogeneity consistent with a malignant infiltrative marrow process. The patient underwent additional laboratory testing and a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy that confirmed the diagnosis of multiple myeloma.

Attention Score in Context

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 19 February 2016.
All research outputs
#8,188,597
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy
#1,506
of 2,386 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#124,826
of 406,429 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy
#34
of 43 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 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 2,386 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 27.1. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% 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 406,429 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 43 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
