We recently reported that patients with cirrhosis exhibit an abnormal pattern in their skin temperature variability, with complexity analysis of skin temperature fluctuations distinguishing inpatients from outpatients, despite similar mean temperature values [1]. Patients with cirrhosis also exhibit abnormalities in circadian rhythmicity, part of which are of central origin [2]. Therefore, we wondered if abnormalities in skin temperature fluctuations may reflect abnormalities in core body temperature (CBT) regulation in these patients. To test this hypothesis, we analysed CBT data that we had previously recorded in control rats and rats with cirrhosis [3]. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
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 08 August 2018.
All research outputs
#15,994,649
of 25,392,582 outputs
Outputs from Liver International
#1,697
of 2,941 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#183,635
of 324,967 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Liver International
#21
of 43 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,392,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,941 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 41st percentile – i.e., 41% 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 324,967 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 43 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.
