Abstract

Centralisation of breast cancer services in Ireland has resulted in a significant increase in the number of patients attending symptomatic breast units (SBU). A considerable proportion of patients referred to SBU present with non-suspicious symptoms and fall into a "low-risk" category for breast cancer. It has been proposed that consideration be given to a primary care-delivered service for these patients.

Attention Score in Context

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 06 March 2015.
All research outputs
#14,803,937
of 22,792,160 outputs
Outputs from Irish Journal of Medical Science
#735
of 1,400 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#182,635
of 304,986 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Irish Journal of Medical Science
#8
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,792,160 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,400 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 45th percentile – i.e., 45% 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 304,986 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 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 60% of its contemporaries.
