| Abstract |
To quantify the morphological alterations in corneal nerve fibers and cells in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and their relationship with the presence of hyperreflective endothelial deposits observed using in vivo confocal microscopy. One eye each of 37 patients with PEX and 20 age-matched healthy control subjects was evaluated by in vivo corneal confocal microscopy. Patients with PEX were further classified into two groups: those with and without hyperreflective endothelial deposits. We evaluated the densities of basal epithelial cells, anterior and posterior stromal keratocytes, and endothelial cells and structure of sub-basal nerve fibers. The mean anterior and posterior stromal keratocyte and endothelial cell densities and corneal sub-basal nerve plexus variables were significantly lower in patients with PEX compared with those in healthy control subjects. The mean basal epithelial cell density did not significantly differ. Eyes with PEX presented decreased corneal sub-basal nerve plexus variables and cell densities in all corneas, except for the mean basal epithelial cell density. Further, a trend of lower corneal sub-basal nerve plexus measurements in patients with hyperreflective endothelial deposits compared with those without endothelial deposits was observed. |

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 15 December 2015.
All research outputs
#22,759,802
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia
#322
of 446 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#306,548
of 359,538 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia
#28
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 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 446 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.5. 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 359,538 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 52 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.
