| Abstract |
A simple questionnaire, combined with color charts consisting of a 12-point color scale and a series of photographs illustrating blanching and cyanosis, has been developed to assist in the diagnosis of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). The value of the color charts alone was first tested on a group of 48 patients with RP in whom the RP attacks were witnessed by the investigators (gold standard) and on a group of 246 RP negative subjects; the results showed a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 100%. A short RP diagnostic test was then devised by combining the questionnaire and color chart responses, which increased the sensitivity to 100% in our gold standard group of RP positive subjects. Further evaluation of this RP diagnostic test on a sample of 325 subjects whose RP status was unknown demonstrated that the majority could be classified as clearly RP positive or negative with only 4 subjects in the intermediate category. |

Attention Score in Context
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 07 December 2022.
All research outputs
#8,537,346
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Rheumatology
#1,732
of 3,951 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,614
of 12,257 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Rheumatology
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,951 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% 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 12,257 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
