Coccidioidal meningitis (CM) has high morbidity, and adjunctive measures to improve outcomes are needed. Using an established multicenter retrospective cohort study of CM (N=221), we found patients receiving adjunctive corticosteroids had a significant reduction in secondary cerebrovascular events (P=0.0049). Those with CM-associated cerebrovascular events (8%) may benefit from short-term corticosteroids.
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 03 January 2018.
All research outputs
#18,388,052
of 27,487,591 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#15,500
of 18,495 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#203,929
of 330,216 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#198
of 246 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,487,591 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 18,495 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.8. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% 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 330,216 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 246 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
