| Abstract |
The case-population approach or population-based case-cohort approach is derived from the case-control design and consists of comparing past exposure to a given risk factor in subjects presenting a given disease or symptom (cases) with the exposure rate to this factor in the whole cohort or in the source population of cases. In the same way as the case-control approach, the case-population approach measures the disproportionality of exposure between cases of a given disease and their source population expressed in the form of an odds ratio approximating the ratio of the risks in exposed and not-exposed populations (relative risk). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 26 January 2015.
All research outputs
#8,534,976
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Drug Safety
#916
of 1,852 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#88,446
of 289,012 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Drug Safety
#284
of 595 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,852 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.9. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% 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 289,012 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 595 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
