| Abstract |
The antineoplastic agent's cisplatin and carboplatin are widely used as they are highly effective. Unfortunately, ototoxicity is a frequently encountered side effect of platinum-based chemotherapy. Clinically, patients generally develop a progressive, bilateral, and irreversible sensorineural hearing loss. With rising cancer survival rates, a greater proportion of patients are living with the side effects of their chemotherapy treatments. Consequently, the quality of life of cancer survivors has now become a major concern for clinicians. Various classification systems are currently available to grade side effects and provide a guideline for subsequent treatments. An extensive review of the literature revealed that a variety of criteria are used worldwide for grading platinum-induced hearing loss in children and adults, including the National Cancer Institute criteria, Brock's grading system, the American Speech-Hearing-Language Association criteria, the World Health Organization criteria, the Pediatric Oncology Group criteria, and the Muenster classification. Less commonly used criteria include the Chang classification, the Functional Hearing Loss scale, the HIT system (German Hirntumor study grading system), and most recently, the International Society of Pediatric Oncology Boston ototoxicity grading scale. The objective of this review is to evaluate the commonly used ototoxicity criteria and discuss their benefits and limitations. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 03 October 2017.
All research outputs
#7,517,824
of 23,613,071 outputs
Outputs from European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology
#445
of 3,198 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#117,782
of 340,747 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology
#14
of 77 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,613,071 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,198 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% 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 340,747 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 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 77 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
