| Abstract |
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a multisystemic genetic disease characterized by hypotonia, mental retardation, characteristic facial appearance, hyperphagia, and compulsive eating due to hypothalamic dysfunction. PWS is caused by loss of function of genes located in chromosome 15q11-q13, an area subject to genomic imprinting. Obesity is a major cause of increased morbidity and mortality among patients with PWS. The objective of this study was to analyze the therapeutic options available for the treatment of the obesity in PWS including pharmacological and surgical strategies. |

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 02 January 2015.
All research outputs
#16,722,190
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
#324
of 800 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#71,793
of 83,513 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
#8
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% 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 has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% 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 83,513 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
