Abstract

© 2018 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.References. Genetically identical individuals joined by a part of their anatomy and often sharing one or more organs are known as conjoined twins. Total prevalence of this event has been estimated at 1.47 per 100,000 live births.1 Forty percent of all are stillborn, and a further 30% die on the first day of life. Only 18% of all conjoined twins survive longer than 24 h, and they represent one of the more difficult challenges of pediatric surgery.2 3

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-05-02:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 40.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 879 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 0.5.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).
