This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 18. 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 23 December 2025.
All research outputs
#2,611,776
of 34,137,736 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#17,155
of 38,236 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#25,802
of 355,582 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#166
of 252 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,137,736 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 38,236 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 119.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% 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 355,582 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 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 252 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
