| Abstract |
The implementation of preventive measures of look-alike/sound-alike drugs incidents has given rise to a fundamental rule in Clinical Risk Management, but the problem is underestimated, endorsed by the absence or inadequate presence of specific uniformed procedures. In literature, there are few reviews about look-alike/sound-alike drugs. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 17. 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 October 2023.
All research outputs
#2,094,390
of 25,287,709 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy
#66
of 1,273 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,210
of 320,996 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy
#3
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,287,709 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,273 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% 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 320,996 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 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
