This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 88. 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 09 January 2026.
All research outputs
#619,752
of 34,637,917 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#7,750
of 38,551 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,148
of 365,856 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#93
of 251 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,637,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 38,551 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 120.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% 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 365,856 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 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 251 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
