| Abstract |
Sixty-three-year-old woman requested medical attention for osteoporosis. Bone densitometry revealed: T(spine (L1-L4))= -3.5 SD [Bone mineral density (BMD): 0.766 g/cm(2)]. T(femoral neck) = -2.4 SD (BMD: 0.716 g/cm(2)). She has been in calcium and vitamin D supplementation for 2 years. She informed a 5-year-history of hypothyroidism in levothyroxine replacement. Alendronate sodium 70 mg/week was initiated with significant increase in BMD in the first year (6.1% equally in spine and femoral neck). After a 5-year follow-up, the patient presented with weight loss, anemia and decrease in BMD (12.6% in spine and 20.9% in femoral neck). Clinical history revealed intermittent diarrhea episodes for 2 years and the hypothesis of celiac disease was suspected. Anti-gliadin and anti-endomysium antibodies were positive: 25.3 U/mL (< 20) e 1/5 U/mL (RV: negative), respectively. Bone biochemical parameters revealed normal levels of calcium and phosphate, increased parathyroid hormone: 283 pg/mL (10-65) and increased levels of bone reabsortion markers, consistent with secondary hyperparathyroidism in response to malabsorptive syndrome. One year after gluten-free diet, patient improved of malabsorptive symptoms and gained BMD (47.3% in spine and 31.6% in femoral neck), confirming the hypothesis of celiac disease as aggravating factor of osteoporosis in this patient. |

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 16 September 2012.
All research outputs
#17,285,668
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
#356
of 800 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#146,708
of 170,254 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
#7
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 800 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% 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 170,254 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 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.
