Report for: Reminder packaging for improving adherence to self-administered long-term medications

Title	Reminder packaging for improving adherence to self-administered long-term medications
Published in	Cochrane database of systematic reviews, September 2011
DOI	10.1002/14651858.cd005025.pub3
Pubmed ID	16437510
Authors	Kamal R Mahtani, Carl J Heneghan, Paul P Glasziou, Rafael Perera
Abstract	Current methods of improving medication adherence for health problems are mostly complex, labour-intensive, and not reliably effective. Medication 'reminder packaging' which incorporates a date or time for a medication to be taken in the packaging, can act as a reminder system to improve adherence.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 23. 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 June 2020.

All research outputs

#1,381,244

of 22,651,245 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#3,160

of 12,296 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#6,441

of 125,706 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#16

of 104 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 22,651,245 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.

So far Altmetric has tracked 12,296 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% 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 125,706 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% 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 done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
