Implications for practice and research: Extreme cardiorespiratory events can be documented during sleep and are more common in immature preterm infants. The supine sleep position does not appear to decrease the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by decreasing the risk of extreme cardiorespiratory events in vulnerable infants. Reasons for the physiological advantage of the supine sleep position remain speculative and require ongoing study despite decreases in SIDS death rates in recent years.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. 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 11 November 2013.
All research outputs
#5,257,358
of 27,369,606 outputs
Outputs from Evidence Based Nursing
#224
of 1,527 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#38,080
of 208,161 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Evidence Based Nursing
#7
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,369,606 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,527 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% 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 208,161 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 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
