About this Attention Score
Good Attention Score compared to outputs of the same age and source (71st percentile)
To report the motor and sensory outcomes of strabismus surgery following scleral buckle procedure for retinal detachment (RD) without removal of the scleral buckle.
The medical records of patients who underwent strabismus surgery without removal of scleral buckle following RD surgical repair at a tertiary referral center between 2002 and 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic data were recorded, and rates of surgical motor success (defined as horizontal deviation of ≤10Δ and vertical deviation of ≤4Δ) and sensory success (resolution of diplopia) were calculated.
A total of 23 patients (mean age, 58.4 ± 24.4 years; 12 males) were included. The average time between the RD surgery and onset of strabismus was 11.05 ± 10.95 months (range, 1-42 months). The strabismus was horizontal in 6 patients, vertical in 2, and combined in 15. Eighteen patients (78%) presented with diplopia. Adjustable sutures were used in 18 patients. Final motor surgical success was achieved in 17 of 23 patients (74%), and diplopia improved in 17 of 18 patients (94%) who had preoperative fusional capability. There was no statistically significant difference in age, number of RD surgeries, macular status, time to strabismus surgery, visual acuity in the worse eye, or magnitude of preoperative horizontal and vertical deviation with regard to motor success rate and with persistence of diplopia postoperatively.
In our study cohort, strabismus surgery without removal of the scleral buckle resulted in motor success and alleviated diplopia in the majority of patients with prior RD repair.
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 10 July 2018.
All research outputs
#27,764,246
of 34,411,289 outputs
Outputs from Journal of AAPOS (Journal of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)
#1,382
of 2,378 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#288,521
of 372,276 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of AAPOS (Journal of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)
#14
of 53 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,411,289 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,378 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% 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 372,276 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 53 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 71% of its contemporaries.
