| Abstract |
The recent publication of updated results from the European randomised study of screening for prostate cancer (ERSPC) with a median 13-year follow-up confirms significant relative and absolute reductions in prostate cancer mortality. In spite of existing guidelines, Dutch men and professionals remain uncertain about the use of PSA testing. The data now available will be helpful in reaching informed decisions. In men aged 55-69 years, the relative mortality reduction remained similar at 21%; the absolute reduction increased from 0.9 to 1.28 fewer deaths/1000 men screened. This translates into much improved figures needing to be invited for screening and diagnosed, at 781 and 27 (1410 and 48 in 2009). As expected, overall mortality does not differ between the arms of the study. The main downside of PSA-driven screening remains the diagnosis of non-life-threatening cancers (overdiagnosis) by screening, at a frequency of about 40%, which can be reduced by use of the Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator. Current data support the present guideline which recommends informed decision-making, taking into account the advantages and potential damage caused by PSA testing. |

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 31 October 2015.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde
#591
of 989 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#266,662
of 359,549 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde
#22
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 989 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% 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 359,549 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
