Dermal sinus tracts are an uncommon form of spinal dysraphism often presenting in childhood with skin findings, neurologic deficit, or infection. We reviewed our surgical experience, examining presenting symptomatology, operative findings, and patient outcomes.
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 13 December 2021.
All research outputs
#7,418,854
of 22,684,168 outputs
Outputs from Pediatrics
#9,972
of 16,572 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#17,014
of 49,884 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatrics
#50
of 86 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,684,168 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 16,572 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 46.1. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% 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 49,884 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 86 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
