| Abstract |
BackgroundWhen increased serum cobalamin concentrations are encountered clinically they are usually attributed to parenteral supplementation, dietary factors, or otherwise ignored. However, recently, hypercobalaminaemia has been associated with numerous diseases in humans, most notably neoplastic and hepatic disorders. The aim of this retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study was to determine the significance of increased cobalamin in cats.ResultsIn total, 237 records were retrieved and 174 cats, of various ages and sexes met the inclusion criteria. A total of 42 cats had increased serum cobalamin concentration, and had not received prior supplementation. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that increased serum cobalamin concentration was negatively related to breed (pedigree breeds less likely to have increased cobalamin concentration, odds ratio [OR] 0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.10-0.56), and positively related to having liver disease (OR 9.91, 95% CI 3.54-27.68) or a solid neoplasm (OR 8.54, 95% CI 1.10-66.45).ConclusionsThe results of the current study suggest that increased serum cobalamin concentrations should not be ignored in cats with no history of supplementation, and investigation for underlying hepatic or neoplastic disease is warranted. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 14 June 2021.
All research outputs
#5,136,967
of 24,825,035 outputs
Outputs from BMC Veterinary Research
#368
of 3,231 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#47,699
of 236,069 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Veterinary Research
#7
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,825,035 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,231 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% 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 236,069 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
