| Abstract |
Obesity is a state of chronic low grade inflammation with increased levels of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α. The changes of some of the above markers after bariatric surgery are not consistent across studies. The objective of this study is to confirm the changes in blood levels of CRP, IL-6 and TNFα after bariatric surgery. |

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 12 January 2024.
All research outputs
#17,122,272
of 25,155,561 outputs
Outputs from Inflammation Research
#687
of 1,039 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110,434
of 169,086 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Inflammation Research
#5
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,155,561 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,039 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% 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 169,086 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
