| Abstract |
Levetiracetam (LEV) is a highly effective antiepileptic agent. A clinically relevant psychiatric complication of LEV treatment, however, is the provocation of irritability and aggression. Recent behavioral research indicates that personality traits may predispose to these side effects. To assess the genetic basis of the adverse psychotropic profile of LEV, a candidate gene-based two-stage association study was conducted. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 25. 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 27 December 2022.
All research outputs
#1,439,941
of 24,712,008 outputs
Outputs from Epilepsia
#342
of 5,723 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#8,180
of 171,627 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Epilepsia
#1
of 67 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,712,008 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,723 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% 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 171,627 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 67 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
