| Abstract |
Inappropriate polypharmacy and its associated harm pose a significant threat to older patients. The prescribing decisions of physicians greatly influence what other practitioners prescribe. Minimising medication-related harm requires physicians to adopt a systematic approach to the deliberate and judicious deprescribing of potentially inappropriate medicines in at-risk individuals. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. 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 07 December 2017.
All research outputs
#3,210,508
of 24,484,013 outputs
Outputs from Internal Medicine Journal
#285
of 2,462 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#39,527
of 261,447 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Internal Medicine Journal
#8
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,484,013 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,462 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% 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 261,447 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 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 71% of its contemporaries.
