| Abstract |
A major problem in the treatment of severe depression is the onset latency until clinical improvement. So far, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most effective somatic treatment of depression. This holds especially true for treatment-refractory disturbances. However, not all patients respond to conventional unilateral ECT. In certain cases, subsequent clinical response can be achieved using bilateral or high-dose unilateral ECT. Also, a concomitant pharmacotherapy can be utilized to augment therapeutic effectiveness. Surprisingly, data in this field are widely lacking and only few studies showed advantages of an ECT/tricyclic antidepressant combination. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 21 December 2014.
All research outputs
#22,759,452
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Biological Psychiatry
#595
of 730 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#118,062
of 122,581 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Biological Psychiatry
#85
of 88 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 730 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 122,581 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 88 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
