Abstract

The incidence rate of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is highest among African-American (AA) males. The reason for this disparity in ESRD for AA males remains unclear, but it is well established that diabetes is the leading risk factor. Prediabetes may also be a risk for kidney disease since prediabetics have increased risk for cardiovascular disease and often do not receive drug interventions unless their hemoglobin A1c (A1c) level is above 6%. Perhaps, AA males are at greater risk because they often are untreated prediabetics and this predisposes them to renal injury. Therefore, we hypothesize that prediabetic AA males have higher albumin:creatinine ratio (ACr), a biomarker of renal injury, than their female counterparts.

Attention Score in Context

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 26 January 2015.
All research outputs
#18,390,814
of 22,780,165 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Public Health
#5,641
of 9,792 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#256,277
of 352,182 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Public Health
#34
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,780,165 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,792 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.9. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% 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 352,182 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
