| Abstract |
Mannitol is a novel osmotic indirect bronchial challenge agent used to aid asthma diagnosis and management and is thought to reflect underlying inflammatory processes in asthma. Our objective was to evaluate relationships between mannitol airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and other measures of airway inflammation as well as direct-acting methacholine challenge in persistent asthmatics receiving inhaled corticosteroids. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 15 June 2012.
All research outputs
#13,867,298
of 22,668,244 outputs
Outputs from Lung
#474
of 883 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#96,474
of 166,771 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Lung
#3
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,668,244 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 883 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% 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 166,771 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% 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.
