Abstract

The question for prevalence estimation and validation of the various eGFRs in old age is still under debate. To assess renal function with increasing age, we estimated mean eGFR, in subjects aged 20-85 years. Furthermore, we assessed prevalence of eGFR in a population-based sample of 85 year olds and investigated the performance of these eGFRs in predicting mortality in the oldest old.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 17 January 2024.
All research outputs
#7,862,638
of 25,176,926 outputs
Outputs from BMC Geriatrics
#1,935
of 3,583 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#67,417
of 219,340 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Geriatrics
#21
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,176,926 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,583 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.3. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% 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 219,340 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 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
