This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 31. 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 22 November 2025.
All research outputs
#1,500,607
of 29,707,359 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#12,616
of 35,982 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#11,810
of 224,751 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#167
of 302 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,707,359 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 35,982 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 121.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% 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 224,751 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 302 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
