| Abstract |
Elderly patients are often treated differently than younger individuals due to concerns regarding tolerance and survival. This analysis was performed to evaluate whether elderly patients with one to two brain metastases would benefit from relatively aggressive approaches. It compares whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), resection plus WBRT (OP + WBRT), and resection plus WBRT plus boost (OP + WBRT + boost) in elderly patients. |

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 28 November 2008.
All research outputs
#15,240,835
of 22,660,862 outputs
Outputs from Strahlentherapie und Onkologie
#360
of 741 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#138,724
of 165,675 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Strahlentherapie und Onkologie
#4
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,660,862 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 741 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% 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 165,675 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
