| Abstract |
Of patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), 75% or more experience oral mucositis, a painful acute complication that can delay discharge, interrupt treatment, and threaten life. To evaluate the efficacy of a supersaturated calcium phosphate rinse (SCPR), we compared it with customary care--topical mouth solutions--on measures of severity and consequent interventions and complications. |

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 28 June 2012.
All research outputs
#17,660,193
of 22,669,724 outputs
Outputs from Supportive Care in Cancer
#3,414
of 4,517 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#121,867
of 164,426 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Supportive Care in Cancer
#22
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,669,724 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,517 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 21st percentile – i.e., 21% 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 164,426 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
