| Abstract |
Recent trials have suggested that axillary node dissection may not be warranted in some breast cancer patients with one to two positive nodes. Given that lymph node ratio (LNR; number of positive lymph nodes divided by the total examined) has been shown to be a significant prognostic factor, we sought to determine whether the number of nodes removed in this low risk population predicted survival. |

Attention Score in Context
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 24 October 2013.
All research outputs
#18,351,676
of 22,727,570 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Surgical Oncology
#4,963
of 6,435 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#158,189
of 211,883 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Surgical Oncology
#45
of 67 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,727,570 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,435 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% 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 211,883 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 67 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
