| Abstract |
Despite advances in immune prophylaxis, sepsis remains the most feared complication following splenectomy for acute splenic sequestration crisis (ASSC) in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA). We seek to investigate the true prevalence of sepsis and other complications of splenectomy in this patient population. |

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 12 January 2015.
All research outputs
#15,314,171
of 22,776,824 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Surgery International
#570
of 1,251 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#77,023
of 94,513 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Surgery International
#6
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,776,824 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,251 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% 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 94,513 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
