We compared the degree of psychosocial impairment in patients seen in the emergency department (ED) for acute complaints with that of patients presenting with chronic complaints using the Youth Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC-Y). Our hypothesis was that patients with multiple visits for chronic complaints (>3 health care visits for the chief complaint during the previous 12 months) would be more likely than patients with acute complaints to test positive for psychosocial issues.
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 04 February 2013.
All research outputs
#27,727,448
of 34,361,833 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric emergency care
#3,298
of 4,705 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#281,002
of 344,198 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric emergency care
#65
of 98 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,361,833 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,705 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.2. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% 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 344,198 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 98 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
