| Abstract |
Folate deficiency is rare in western countries and therefore blood tests for folate level have limited indications. One such indication is red cell macrocytosis, however it is unclear if the association of macrocytosis with folate deficiency is robust enough to serve as a risk marker. Our objective is to determine whether macrocytosis is a useful marker for folate deficiency. Paired data from the Calgary Laboratory Services Information System was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to determine strength of association between mean corpuscular volume and serum folate. Strength of association was analyzed for serum folate cut-off values of 12, 10, 8, and 6 nmol/L. Overall, 0.2% of individuals were folate deficient (<6 nmol/L serum folate). Based on ROC curves, at each cut-off level, mean corpuscular volume was a poor predictive marker for serum folate level. Folate deficiency is rare in Calgary, Alberta. Macrocytosis is not a strong predictor for folate deficiency. |

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 25 March 2022.
All research outputs
#7,702,488
of 23,426,104 outputs
Outputs from BMC Research Notes
#1,265
of 4,305 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#90,098
of 264,624 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Research Notes
#26
of 104 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,426,104 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 4,305 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
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 264,624 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 57% of its contemporaries.
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 has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
