In current state of practice, disease severity assessment for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) lacks consensus between different organizations. In the latest guidelines for management of CDI, authors have proposed a new disease severity classification. This classification has been derived from expert opinion and includes previously reported patient related factors that predict unfavorable outcome in CDI.
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 01 August 2014.
All research outputs
#21,948,497
of 27,780,120 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives
#372
of 691 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#171,415
of 242,585 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives
#10
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,780,120 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 691 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.3. 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 242,585 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 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.
