| Abstract |
Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) survivors are at risk for adverse psychosocial events as a result from cancer diagnosis and treatment. Fatigue is one of the most frequently reported long-term symptoms and is often reported to interfere with daily life. We conducted a systematic review to determine prevalence, severity and predisposing factors of fatigue in HL survivors. A literature search was conducted up to August 2012. Twenty-two articles comparing HL survivors with norm population data met all predefined selection criteria. Prevalence rates, levels of fatigue and clinical relevance of the results were determined. Prevalence of fatigue ranged from 11-76 % in HL survivors compared to 10 % in the general population. Mean fatigue scores were 5-13 % higher compared to the normative population; these findings were clinically relevant in 7 out of 11 studies. Increasing age was associated with higher levels of fatigue in HL survivors. Treatment modality and stage of initial disease were not associated with higher fatigue levels, while comorbidities or other treatment sequelae seemed to impact on the levels of fatigue. HL survivors are at serious risk for developing clinically relevant, long-term fatigue. The impact of patient and treatment characteristics on risk of fatigue is limited. Focus for future research should shift to the role of late-treatment sequelae and psychological distress symptoms. |

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 04 January 2024.
All research outputs
#19,720,192
of 25,107,281 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Hematology
#1,563
of 2,373 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#144,130
of 199,392 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Hematology
#23
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,107,281 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,373 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% 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 199,392 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
