| Abstract |
To the Editor: Govindarajan et al. (Aug. 27 issue)(1) report that in their study the adverse outcomes of elective daytime procedures were similar, irrespective of whether the surgeon had operated after midnight on the previous night. By limiting their analysis to elective surgery, the authors did not address the troubling evidence that divergent thinking and strategic planning in response to critical situations are impaired as a result of sleep loss.(2),(3) Conversely, the ability to logically respond to well-rehearsed tasks, such as familiar elective procedures, is preserved when a person is fatigued.(4) The inclusion of outcomes after emergency procedures, which . . . |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 02 January 2016.
All research outputs
#4,497,781
of 22,835,198 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#17,773
of 30,766 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#76,882
of 388,829 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#231
of 374 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,835,198 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 30,766 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 117.1. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% 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 388,829 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 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 374 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
