| Abstract |
Current evidence, although limited, outlines that sexual dysfunction may represent a prominent part of the symptom burden experienced by the patients with hematologic malignancies (HM). However, despite their presumed negative effects on quality of life (QoL), sexual health is not typically considered in the QoL assessment of HM patients. In addition, very few studies have been conducted in this area. Therefore, it would be important to further investigate how newer drugs developed in recent years for patients with HM, including targeted therapies and impact on sexual health, and how this influence overall patients' QoL outcomes. |

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 30 April 2018.
All research outputs
#20,483,282
of 23,045,021 outputs
Outputs from Supportive Care in Cancer
#4,075
of 4,645 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#293,451
of 331,879 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Supportive Care in Cancer
#85
of 98 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,045,021 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,645 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 331,879 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 98 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
