| Abstract |
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment option for various hematologic disorders. However, life-threatening adverse events resulting from treatment-related toxicity, severe infections, and/or graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) can occur. We report on a 64-year-old patient suffering from secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who underwent successful allogeneic HSCT while on invasive mandatory ventilation (IMV). The patient received reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) according to the FLAMSA-protocol. Acute respiratory failure occurred one day before scheduled HSCT. Following emergency endotracheal intubation the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). Because of respiratory deterioration, stem cell infusion was postponed. After stabilization of respiratory parameters, HSCT was performed during IMV which was continued for seven days. Following hematopoietic regeneration the patient was discharged in good condition on day 35 after HSCT. This case illustrates that intubation and mechanical ventilation do not necessarily exclude leukemic patients from HSCT. |

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 28 September 2014.
All research outputs
#8,534,528
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Acta Medica Austriaca
#284
of 967 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#45,392
of 122,178 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Acta Medica Austriaca
#5
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 967 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% 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 122,178 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 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 70% of its contemporaries.
