| Abstract |
The blood glucose diagnostic thresholds for gestational diabetes remain controversial. In the UK the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published updated guidance for its diagnosis based upon a health economic analysis using local population datasets, and treatment effects estimated from published intervention trials. The resulting thresholds differ from those of the WHO, and in this issue of Diabetologia (DOI: 10.1007/s00125-015-3647-z ), Meek et al have compared the impact of the two sets of diagnostic criteria on 25,543 pregnant women cared for at their unit in Cambridge, UK. This commentary discusses their paper and its implications for pregnant women in the UK. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 09 August 2015.
All research outputs
#18,422,065
of 22,821,814 outputs
Outputs from Diabetologia
#4,677
of 5,036 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#188,997
of 262,576 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetologia
#62
of 80 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,821,814 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,036 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 22.7. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% 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 262,576 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 80 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
