| Abstract |
Oral erosions of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) represent a therapeutic challenge. In this work we compared intralesional injection of steroids (ILS) and autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment of oral erosions of PV. In this split-mouth randomized double blind study, one side of the buccal mucosa of 11 PV patients was injected with 10 mg/ml triamcinolone and the opposite side was injected with 1 millilitre of autologous PRP every 14 days for 3 months. The percentage of clinical improvement, pemphigus disease area index and pain score were recorded before and after therapy. Out of 11 recruited patients, only 9 completed the study. Seven out of the nine patients (78%) showed improvement in PDAI and/or pain score. The mean oral PDAI of the steroid injected sides decreased from 2.3 to 0.9. The mean oral PDAI of the PRP injected sides decreased from 2.6 to 1.0. No significant difference was detected in clinical improvement, PDAI and pain score between autologous PRP and ILS in the treatment of oral erosions of PV. Autologous PRP can be used for the treatment of resistant oral erosions of PV when ILS is contraindicated. |

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 14 June 2018.
All research outputs
#13,067,725
of 23,028,364 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Dermatological Research
#855
of 1,328 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#161,888
of 332,646 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Dermatological Research
#2
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,028,364 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,328 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% 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 332,646 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 50% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
