| Abstract |
To present a case of tamoxifen retinopathy on a 57-year-old woman. An observational case. A review of history, clinical examination, and findings on Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT), fluorescein angiogram (FA) and electro-oculogram (EOG) was conducted. A 57-year old female patient, who had been treated with oral tamoxifen after mastectomy due to breast cancer, had profound visual impairment in both eyes. Disruption of the ellipsoid zone and interdigitation zone which represent photoreceptor damage as well as macular thinning was revealed on SD-OCT in both eyes. Bilateral retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) function compromised was indicated by reduced Arden ratio in EOG. Tamoxifen-induced retinopathy could be detected by SD-OCT and EOG. As it is irreversible, patients who are given tamoxifen need regular ophthalmic consultation, including SD-OCT and EOG before and during the treatment in order to early detect and avoid further retinal damage. |

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 26 September 2015.
All research outputs
#14,238,817
of 22,829,083 outputs
Outputs from SpringerPlus
#770
of 1,850 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#140,738
of 272,398 outputs
Outputs of similar age from SpringerPlus
#50
of 121 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,083 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,850 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% 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 272,398 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 121 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 53% of its contemporaries.
