| Abstract |
Human infection has been reported with groups A, B, and C rotaviruses (RVs). Of these, Group A RVs are the most important, being a major cause of severe gastroenteritis (GE). Each year, Group A RVs are estimated to cause approx 870,000 deaths worldwide in children less than 5 years (yr) of age, mostly in developing countries (1). This chapter will describe the epidemiological features of Group A RV infections, and will critically review the current surveillance strategies used to define the burden of disease. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 20 January 2024.
All research outputs
#7,541,526
of 23,007,887 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular medicine
#10
of 53 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#24,443
of 108,236 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular medicine
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,007,887 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 53 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% 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 108,236 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
