| Abstract |
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is the most common cause of heart disease among Ugandans age 15 to 49 years. Secondary prophylaxis with monthly injection of benzathine penicillin is effective in preventing recurrence of acute rheumatic fever and worsening of RHD, but adherence rates are poor in Uganda. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 71. 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 31 October 2018.
All research outputs
#600,427
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Global Heart
#6
of 418 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#7,243
of 270,989 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Global Heart
#1
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 418 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% 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 270,989 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
