Abstract

Boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy often have reduced bone mass and increased fracture risk. In this prospective study on 33 patients, calcifediol (25-OH vitamin D(3)) plus adjustment of dietary calcium to the recommended dose reduced bone resorption, corrected vitamin D deficiency, and increased bone mass in about two-thirds of cases.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 07 April 2013.
All research outputs
#20,189,002
of 22,705,019 outputs
Outputs from Osteoporosis International
#2,955
of 3,598 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#90,490
of 94,943 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Osteoporosis International
#27
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,705,019 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,598 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 94,943 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
