| Abstract |
The increased skin cancer incidence in organ transplant recipients (OTRs) is well-known, but the skin cancer burden at any one time is unknown. Our objective was to estimate the period prevalence of untreated skin malignancy and actinic keratoses (AKs) in high-risk kidney and liver transplant recipients and assess associated factors. OTRs underwent full skin examinations by dermatologically-trained physicians. The proportion of examined OTRs with histopathologically-confirmed skin cancer in the 3-month baseline period was estimated. Prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) indicated significant associations. Of 495 high-risk OTRs (average age 54, immunosuppressed 8.9 years), 135 (27%) had basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or Bowen Disease (intra-epidermal carcinoma) present and confirmed in the baseline period with respective prevalence proportions of 10%, 11%, and 18% in kidney recipients and 10%, 9% and 13% in liver transplant recipients. Over 80% had AKs present with approximately 30% having >5AKs. OTRs with the highest skin cancer burden were Australian-born; fair-skinned (PR=1.61, 1.07-2.43); reported past skin cancer (PR=3.39, 95% CI=1.93-5.95); and were receiving the most frequent skin checks (PR=1.76, 95% CI=1.15-2.70). In conclusion, high-risk OTRs carry a substantial measurable skin cancer burden at any given time and require frequent review through easily accessible, specialized services. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 14 July 2016.
All research outputs
#7,030,338
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Investigative Dermatology
#3,065
of 8,996 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#92,218
of 314,757 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Investigative Dermatology
#29
of 111 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,996 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% 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 314,757 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 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 111 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
