Childhood obesity increases the risk of developing atopic dermatitis, but no objective measuring tool has been used to determine if it also affects the severity. Our aim was to determine if an association existed between increased body mass index (BMI) or weight for length and severity of atopic dermatitis, as measured by the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index.
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 07 February 2015.
All research outputs
#16,653,302
of 24,565,648 outputs
Outputs from Acta Paediatrica
#4,101
of 5,642 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#158,315
of 263,777 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Acta Paediatrica
#65
of 117 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,565,648 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,642 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.0. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% 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 263,777 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 117 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
