Title	Corticosteroids for dengue infection
Published in	Cochrane database of systematic reviews, June 2014
DOI	10.1002/14651858.cd003488.pub3
Pubmed ID	24984082
Authors	Fan Zhang, Christine V Kramer
Abstract	Dengue is a common and important mosquito-borne viral infection. In many low- and middle-income countries it is endemic and is an important public health problem. Severe dengue is an important cause of death in children. There is no specific treatment for dengue, but observational studies suggest corticosteroids may have a benefit in dengue-related shock, and some people believe corticosteroids may prevent the progression to severe illness if given early in the course of the illness.

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 30 September 2022.

All research outputs

#5,533,187

of 22,780,165 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#7,376

of 12,314 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#51,571

of 226,845 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#142

of 231 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 22,780,165 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.

So far Altmetric has tracked 12,314 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.4. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% 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 226,845 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 231 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
