| Abstract |
Short-course radiotherapy is a common treatment for the palliation of painful osseous metastases. Pain flare can be problematic, but its incidence has previously not been well-documented. The objectives of this study were to determine (1) the incidence of pain flare after palliative radiation for painful osseous metastases, and (2) whether single-fraction radiotherapy increases the risk of pain flare. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 18 August 2014.
All research outputs
#6,941,350
of 22,760,687 outputs
Outputs from Supportive Care in Cancer
#1,690
of 4,563 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,069
of 69,466 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Supportive Care in Cancer
#7
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,760,687 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,563 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% 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 69,466 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 65% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 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 55% of its contemporaries.
