Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a vertically transmitted disease caused by members of the human papilloma virus family. Characterized by the relentless growth of papillomatous lesions of the larynx, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis imposes significant morbidity on patients and strain on their families. Surgical excision of the papillomata remains the mainstay of therapy, but human papilloma virus DNA persists in adjacent, normal-appearing mucosa and likely serves as a reservoir for viral reseeding. Despite multiple adjuvant treatment modalities, a cure for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis remains elusive. Most afflicted patients eventually enter spontaneous remission, but some endure several hundred surgical procedures before this welcome respite.
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 24 July 2012.
All research outputs
#12,344,996
of 34,363,559 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric clinics of North America
#702
of 1,631 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#34,809
of 123,382 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric clinics of North America
#2
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,363,559 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,631 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.5. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% 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 123,382 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
