Abstract

Drug-related problems (DRPs) are common in aged care facilities and few studies have been conducted to determine the impact of the pharmacist-conducted medication review services. Studies determining the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and data regarding inappropriate prescribing of renally cleared medications in aged care facilities in Australia are also lacking.

Attention Score in Context

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 12 September 2014.
All research outputs
#8,101,825
of 24,309,087 outputs
Outputs from Drugs & Aging
#574
of 1,275 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#79,200
of 242,524 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Drugs & Aging
#7
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,309,087 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 1,275 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% 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 242,524 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 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 53% of its contemporaries.
