| Abstract |
Methanol poisoning (MP) often causes acute mortality and morbidities; however, the association between MP and subsequent mortality has not been well studied. We conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study by identifying 621 participants with MP from the Nationwide Poisoning Database and 6210 participants without MP from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000 by matching the index date at a 1:10 ratio between 1999 and 2012. Comparison of the mortality rate between the two cohorts was performed by following up until 2013. A total of 249 (40%) participants with MP and 154 (2.5%) participants without MP died during the follow-up (p < 0.001). Statistic analysis showed that participants with MP had a higher risk for mortality than did the participants without MP (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR]: 13.48; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.76-16.88). The risk of mortality was highest in the first 6 months after MP (AHR: 480.34; 95% CI: 117.55-1962.75). Hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, liver disease, malignancy, drug abuse, and lower monthly income also predicted mortality. MP was associated with increased subsequent mortality. Close follow-up for comorbidity control and socioeconomic assistance are suggested for patients with MP. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 07 August 2018.
All research outputs
#5,831,917
of 23,099,576 outputs
Outputs from BMC Public Health
#5,830
of 15,063 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#99,853
of 330,798 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Public Health
#156
of 295 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,099,576 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 15,063 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% 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 330,798 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 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 295 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
