Title	Incidence, causes, severity and treatment of throat discomfort: a four-region online questionnaire survey
Published in	BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders, August 2012
DOI	10.1186/1472-6815-12-9

Authors	Dilys Addey, Adrian Shephard
Abstract	Acute sore throat is commonly associated with viral infections. Consumers typically rely on over-the-counter treatments and other remedies to treat symptoms; however, limited information is available regarding consumer perceptions of sore throat or treatment needs. The aim of this study was to investigate perceptions of throat discomfort and how these influence attitudes and consumer behaviour with regard to treatment.

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 17 January 2018.

All research outputs

#6,752,982

of 22,678,224 outputs

Outputs from BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders

#19

of 82 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#48,753

of 167,361 outputs

Outputs of similar age from BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders

of 3 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 22,678,224 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.

So far Altmetric has tracked 82 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% 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 167,361 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 70% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
