Abstract

Despite extensive research, a direct correlation between low to moderate prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders has been elusive. Conflicting results have been attributed to a lack of accurate and detailed data on PAE and incomplete information on contributing factors. The public health effectiveness of policies that recommend complete abstinence from alcohol during pregnancy as the safest option is challenged by the high frequency of unplanned pregnancies, with many women having consumed some alcohol prior to pregnancy recognition. There is a need for research evidence with an emphasis on timing and dosage of PAE and its effects on the health of offspring.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

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 16 December 2014.
All research outputs
#14,785,250
of 22,763,032 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
#2,843
of 4,175 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#130,442
of 237,864 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
#77
of 104 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,763,032 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 4,175 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% 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 237,864 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 104 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
