| Abstract |
Increased serum CA 19-9 levels in patients with nonmalignant diseases have been investigated in previous reports. This study evaluates the clinical significance of serum CA 19-9 elevation in pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (PNTM) disease and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The median CA 19-9 level was higher in patients with PNTM disease than in patients with pulmonary TB (PNTM: 13.80, TB: 5.85, p<0.001). A multivariate logistic regression analysis performed in this study showed that Mycobacterium abscessus (OR 9.97, 95% CI: 1.58, 62.80; p=0.014) and active phase of PNTM disease (OR 12.18, 95% CI: 1.07, 138.36, p=0.044) were found to be risk factors for serum CA 19-9 elevation in PNTM disease. The serum CA 19-9 levels showed a tendency to decrease during successful treatment of PNTM disease but not in pulmonary TB. These findings suggest that CA 19-9 may be a useful marker for monitoring therapeutic responses in PNTM disease, although it is not PNTM disease-specific marker. |

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 20 December 2022.
All research outputs
#5,156,627
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
#83
of 809 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,121
of 393,314 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
#2
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 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 809 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% 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 393,314 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 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 90% of its contemporaries.
