| Abstract |
Level 1 trauma centers reduce mortality and improve functional outcomes in major trauma. Despite this, many countries, including Ireland, do not have officially designated major trauma centers (MTC). This study aimed to examine international trauma systems, and determine how to "best fit" trauma care in a small country (Ireland) to international models. |

Attention Score in Context
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 10 July 2016.
All research outputs
#14,205,797
of 22,772,779 outputs
Outputs from Irish Journal of Medical Science
#680
of 1,398 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#191,203
of 360,222 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Irish Journal of Medical Science
#5
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,772,779 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 1,398 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.2. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% 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 360,222 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 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 68% of its contemporaries.
