Abstract

Shortly after pertussis vaccination was reintroduced in Sweden in 1996, an intensified pertussis disease surveillance programme was set up. In this study, we report on in-depth analyses of age-dose-number-specific incidences and the rate of pertussis hospitalisation for children with no, 1 or 2 doses of an acellular pertussis vaccine before pertussis disease. Vaccine coverage, the timeliness of childhood vaccination and the effect of later than scheduled pertussis vaccination(s) are also examined.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. 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 11 November 2022.
All research outputs
#3,026,286
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Vaccine
#2,692
of 16,509 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#15,922
of 152,916 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Vaccine
#40
of 220 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 16,509 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% 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 152,916 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 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 220 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
