The authors examined associations of various sleep-disturbance symptoms with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in 153 adults with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD patients reported more snoring, sleep inadequacy, daytime somnolence, and sleep-maintenance problems than the general population. Symptoms having the broadest and strongest unique associations with generic HRQOL (eight scales; two composites of SF-36) were daytime somnolence (five scales; one composite), sleep initiation (eight scales; two composites), and awakening short of breath or with headache (six scales; two composites). Associations of selected sleep-disturbance symptoms--some unanticipated--suggest that assessing specific symptoms is worthwhile in clinical care.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 23 November 2013.
All research outputs
#12,358,651
of 34,410,315 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences
#735
of 1,701 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#118,715
of 346,219 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences
#34
of 79 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,410,315 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,701 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.9. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% 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 346,219 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 79 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
