| Abstract |
Photoselective vaporisation (PVP) of the prostate is being used increasingly to treat symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia, due to the associated lower morbidity. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate was considered to be the treatment with the highest evidence; however, evidence for PVP has dramatically increased recently. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. 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 11 November 2019.
All research outputs
#3,202,391
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from European Urology
#1,935
of 6,216 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,220
of 176,271 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Urology
#15
of 66 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,216 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% 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 176,271 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 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 66 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
