| Abstract |
The current cure rate of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia has reached 80% in many industrialized countries, but in developing countries the rate is often less than 10%. To advance the cure rate, investigators have formed several parallel initiatives in both industrialized and developing countries through international collaboration and partnership. Among industrialized countries, investigators have combined data to conduct in-depth studies of the biology and heterogeneity of high-risk or drug-resistant subgroups of leukemia to identify optimal or novel treatments. Alliances have been established among government, local nongovernmental organizations, health care providers, and international groups to improve the survival rate of childhood leukemia in developing countries. "Twinning" partnerships between a well-established individual institution or study group and a pediatric cancer unit in a developing country has proved to be the most successful strategy to date. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 01 May 2021.
All research outputs
#7,453,126
of 22,785,242 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Hematology
#253
of 1,392 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#33,289
of 133,039 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Hematology
#5
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,785,242 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,392 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. 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 133,039 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
