| Abstract |
Within the existing consensus for the best management of pediatric infratentorial ependymomas (PIE), surgery is the most important stage, where complete removal should be the perfect aim, before complementing it with chemo- or radiotherapy. That, however, remains a challenge even for the most skillful surgeons because of the vicinity of important brainstem and cranial nerve structures involved and is particularly difficult in lateral extensions. |

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 06 August 2011.
All research outputs
#7,454,951
of 22,790,780 outputs
Outputs from Child's Nervous System
#299
of 2,743 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#32,885
of 93,429 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Child's Nervous System
#2
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,790,780 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 2,743 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% 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 93,429 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 7 of them.
