| Abstract |
The considerable number of surgical procedures performed each year, as well as the significant burden of surgical disease globally, have brought surgery into the arena of public health concerns. Several articles have shown the cost-effectiveness of surgical interventions in the developing world. The authors suggest that surgery has an important role in global public health, specifically through international volunteer surgical missions as a vehicle for delivery. |

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 27 October 2015.
All research outputs
#6,741,589
of 23,755,107 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Surgery
#1,277
of 4,370 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#42,456
of 168,472 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Surgery
#18
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,755,107 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,370 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% 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 168,472 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
