Perianal abscess is common in infants and children, yet the optimal surgical management is argued: incision and drainage alone is a simple procedure but is associated with a much higher recurrence rate than incision and drainage with simultaneous laying open of the associated fistula. This retrospective review established the institutional recurrence rate and its close association with how the fistula was managed at the initial operation.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 23 October 2012.
All research outputs
#23,436,833
of 34,518,147 outputs
Outputs from Australian & New Zealand Journal of Surgery
#1,861
of 3,341 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#223,428
of 302,132 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Australian & New Zealand Journal of Surgery
#11
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,518,147 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,341 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% 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 302,132 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
